The United States is currently engaged in a national discussion revolved around our conduct in the War on Terror. Central to this discussion is the question of torture. Should the U.S. use torture against the enemy in an effort to retrieve information? Is torture an effective method of intelligence gathering? Would allowing the U.S. Armed Forces or the intelligence agencies (CIA) undermine our moral principles or hurt our international image? These are tough questions, made tougher by our government's seeming inability to talk straight to us.
Jon Stewart recently discussed this very same topic on the Daily Show. Watch the embedded video and offer your thoughts.
