Question 4
Read The Huffington Post article, “The Inside Story Of How The CIA Actually Caught The 9/11 Mastermind, But Nearly Didn’t,” by Kate Sheppard and then read The Washington Post article, “Tortured Credibility,” by Anne Applebaum. In the article, the author states, “This is concrete proof, as if more were needed, that it is not merely immoral to operate outside the rule of law; it is also ineffective and in fact profoundly counterproductive” (Applebaum, 2007, np). In your own words, make an argument for or against the statement and offer evidence to support your position on whether the enhanced interrogation techniques provided the tools necessary to capture Khalid Sheik Mohammed and was his information useful.
