Enhanced Interrogation Techniques (EITs) refer to a set of controversial methods used by some government agencies to extract information from detainees. These techniques include practices such as waterboarding, stress positions, and sleep deprivation. EITs were employed primarily during the War on Terror to gather intelligence from suspected terrorists. The use of EITs has sparked significant debate regarding their effectiveness and ethical implications. Critics argue that these methods can lead to false information and violate human rights, while proponents claim they are necessary for national security. The discussion around EITs continues to influence policies on interrogation and human rights.
