Although
it has been used for many years by many different people, torture has been the
center of many facets in society. Many
scholars have written countless articles about the subject, and it is the center
of many horror films made today.

terrorism, some of world's most civilized democracies are themselves unwilling
to shrink from doing what they think is necessary. Such are the times in which
we live. (Slater)”
