Yesterday I was watching "
Turning Point" - a documentary on 9/11 attacks on Netflix.
USA launched full frontal attack on Al-Qaeda in the aftermath of these attacks. It captured various alleged terrorists from Afghanistan and started interrogating them. The
interrogation techniques that were adopted were
inhuman to say the least. During interrogation, one of the leading commander of the terrorist grp,
Ibn Sheikh revealed that Iraq was building
weapons of mass destruction in cooperation with
Al-Qaeda. USA used this info to launch war on Iraq(Saddam Hussain).
However after the war,
inspectors of UN found no evidence of WMDs in Iraq. The
whole premise of war turned out to be false. When Ibn Sheikh was asked why did he give wrong information, he said- "
you were torturing me so much so I gave you the information you wanted to hear"Dear students, the anecdote tells us the
importance of right means. A country was torn apart based on false information
obtained thru unethical means.
This is because the inhuman interrogation techniques aim at
compliance and not
cooperation. In the former, you give information for torture to stop.
