Has Guantanamo Prison Made America Safer?

Sat, 23 May 2009 23:45:46 -0500

On May 21, 2009, two American leaders, one a current president, the other a former vice president, stood before the world and gave two radically different answers to the same question: has Quantanamo Bay made America safer? While President Obama insisted that Guantanamo and the interrogations that took place there were the product of fear-mongering, Dick Cheney declared that closing the detention camp would be reckless and place Americans at great risk.

Does Islam Promote Violence?

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 19:46:08 -0500

For most Americans, Islam was a religion that lived on the periphery of their lives, a culture they caught glimpses of in movies and television shows. Then came the tragic events of 9/11, and suddenly the Western world was desperately grasping to understand a religion they knew precious little about. With all the questions swirling around the true nature of Islam, none has been asked more than this: Does Islam promote violence?

Is Torture Ever Justified?

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 19:45:12 -0500

As newspapers and documentary films continue to discuss waterboarding and other controversial treatments of suspected terrorists, the debate over torture remains intense. Some insist that desperate times call for desperate measures, but others are baffled that such methods could exist in a civilized society. Is physical persuasion ever an appropriate means of interrogation?
