Topic question: Is the US policy of enhanced interrogation (torture) justifiable

Topic question: Is the US policy of enhanced interrogation (torture) justifiable in the aftermath of 9/11?
research into the topic of “what is torture”?, and make an argument
A good essay is to look at it from ONE perspective . Which do you believe in? You can then defend your position (Utalitarian/Realist/Liberal), whatever it is, from the other counterarguments. And don’t forget to research not just the policy itself, but what scholars say about it. If you search things like “a utilitarian defense of torture” or “ethics of torture” you will find things that will help you make your argument
I have added a document that can be helpful
