A commentary on Weixian's blog

This week we are suppose to choose one of our friend's blog entry and comment on it, I have chosen Weixian's blog because he was one of the top 3 blogs our class have chosen.
The blog entry that i have chosen is the one on the use of torture. I chose this entry becuase both of us share the same idea on the use of torture. In his blog entry, he said that the use of torture is justified when directed at adamant inhumane criminals for non-political agendas and such actions are not justified when political agendas are present. The latter serves only to undermine humanity. I totally agree to this because i think that the authority should not resort to torture unnecessary.
There are many debates going on these decades on the use of torture. Human rights groups have always voice out their disagreement to the use of torture. However, human rights groups are being unrealistic by their outright objection against torture when it comes to garnering crucial information pertaining to where a psychopathic murderer might have buried his victim, still alive and waiting borrowed time to be rescued.
The use of torture may seems cruel to some but when it comes to dealing with terrorists and murderers, i think the use of torture is adsolutely justifiable.
On the other hand, torture is never justified if such means were meted out to the will of a political power with intentions for political use. Many political leaders, since centuries ago, have been using torture to control the people and to garner support. Some famous examples are Adolf Hitler and Stalin. They used torture to control the way the people think, act and speak. This kind of torture is totally unacceptable. This is an inhumane act as the people have not committed serious crimes and yet they are treated in this inhumane ways.
Both Weixian and I share this common views on the use of torture- The use of torture is justified when directed at adamant inhumane criminals for non-political agendas. Again, such actions are not justified when political agendas are present. The latter serves only to undermine humanity.
