Trump would reactivate enhanced interrogation for terrorists. Where do you stand?

Of course not. Torture is immoral.

Yes. Water boarding isn't torture and we shouldn't care about causing discomfort to terrorists anyway.

How do we know that they're terrorists? The Constitution protects against this blatant abuse of human rights.

How many completely innocent people have received advanced interrogation by the US military?

Absolutely not. Respect for human dignity is what makes us different from ISIS.

Intentionally? Probably very few, if any at all. But unintentionally?

No, because we know that torture doesn't work.  If you still support such methods, then it's clear you only want vengeance, not information.

No it's not efficient enough in gathering evidence and it's not vicious and visual scary enough to scare the Islamists. If you want to scare Islamists enough you need to be willing to cut off their balls and torture their families North Korean style. So let me ask how many of you people are willing to do that? If you aren't "enhanced interogation" are worse than useless, alone the fact that the supporters call it that rather than torture show that they lack the guts to go far enough.

Yeah, this. Assuming hypothetically that it actually worked, I would consider it justified, but it;s  been proven that such techniques are ineffective at actually gathering information.

No. Any nation that engages in such practices has no right to complain about terrorist attacks.

its not a practical method because there's a high risk of memory loss from the oxygen deprivation and panic induced by the drowning

Sure, maybe, but what's easier for a particular nation to end, another nation-state or torture as a government practice?
