President Obama said to “Spy Agency”: “Don’t dishoard…”

On April 20, 2009, President Barack Obama visited Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He gave his support to this organization, but what is more interesting is the fact that a few days ago he revealed some files showing the CIA using aggressive interrogation techniques on suspected terrorists.

Following Associated Press, President Obama tells CIA employees that they must do their work scrupulously because they are standing as a security barrier for Americans who face attack from people who have no scruples (read more).

Department of Justice lawyers authorized the CIA to use such techniques as sleep deprivation, slapping, nudity and water-boarding that simulates drowning. The document memos, written from 2002 to 2005, were released in response to a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union. Everything happened during the Presidency of George W. Bush (read more).

For many Human Rights organizations, these kinds of investigations amounted to be torture (read more).

Do people need to use these kinds of methods to extract information from prisoners? Is it morally sound to use such practices? What do you think?
