Enhanced Interrogation
Enhanced interrogation refers to techniques used by some government agencies to extract information from detainees. These methods often go beyond traditional questioning and can include physical and psychological pressure. The goal is to obtain critical intelligence, especially in national security contexts.
The use of enhanced interrogation has been controversial, with debates surrounding its effectiveness and ethical implications. Critics argue that such methods can lead to false information and violate human rights, while proponents claim they are necessary for preventing threats. This topic gained significant attention during discussions about the War on Terror and the practices of the CIA.
