Torture

I think one of the major issues that is going on today is torture and how it has been used on p.o.w. When the bush administration uses torture to interrogate someone their is something wrong going on in our government. The use of torture is inhuman and should not be used on prisoners. In addition, torture doesn't produce good intelligence and those being tortured will tell the torturers whatever they want to hear.
The bush administration has tried to make a loop hole on the article three of the Geneva convention saying that it does not apply to Al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters. This is bothersome to think that our government is saying that its ok to torture people. In addition, the government have also done arrest without charges and wiretapping. All those things are illegal and should not be allowed to happen. If you think about it this administration is turning into a dictatorship.
Furthermore their have been secret memos from the bush administration that authorized the use of physical and psychological tactics, including head-slapping, simulated drowning. The Bush administration has also said that waterboarding is not considered torture but most experts would disagree with that and say that it is torture. It is illegal to torture prisoners and we need to have consequences for the actions taken by the Bush administration. Also it makes it seem like the government have no boundary's and can do whatever they want which is wrong. In conclusion I think we need to put this administration on trial for all the illegal and inhuman actions they taken. The Bush administration has abused its power and should be regulated by congress. The presidents powers are limited for a reason and should stay limited. Finally we need to take back the power the president has, so he wont be tempted to abuse it.
