U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder was named a special prosecutor to probe Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) prisoner abuse cases on Monday. His discussion came after the justice departments watch dogs recommended prosecution for CIA employees and other contractors that were involved in the interrogations of Iraq and Afghanistan.
The claim is that persons involved went beyond their approved limits while interrogating. According to the agencies memo the techniques use by the CIA consisted of sleep deprivation, insult slaps, dousing with water, strapping them to walls, and slamming the detainee's head against a wall(http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090826/pl_nm/us_usa_cia_interrogations)
While these where effective ways to gather information these people are still under fire, most just doing as they were told. I think this is unfair. We are supposed to be the good guys. Nobody should be penalized for doing their job they were hired to do then prosecute them for being too good at it. Have this justice Department forgot that these detainees are the same terrorist we are shooting and bombing those detainees should be happy to even be alive. If these detainees just gave up what they knew there wouldn’t even be a need for any of those harsh techniques. This CIA employee’s where doing their job so we can be safe.
