Absolutist - Prohibition in all cases Situational – Depends on the situation. Best interest. Question of exchange.

Absolute Torture is never acceptable (Scarry) Limited LegalPermissible in certain cases Permissibility(Dershowitz) Limited MoralPermissible but illegal, no Permissibilitywarrants

As noted by Dershowitz Safety and security of a nation’s citizens Preservation of civil liberties and human rights Visibility and accountability in a democracy How do these come into conflict?

How do you get from one to the next? A.Time is running out B.The person has the information C.Interrogation by torture is necessary D.Failure to torture will mean greater loss QUESTION: Can you raise objections at each step?

E. Scarry’s Account What is the effect of the focus on Alan Dershowitz?

Who was being tortured? The torture warrants debate leaves out the details about the people actually detained after 9/11

KHALID EL-MASRI  German Citizen  Born in Kuwait but married a German woman  Handed over to the CIA and, according to a lawsuit, tortured in Afghanistan. KHALID AL-MASRI  The name of a person alleged to have made contact in Germany with the 9/11 hijackers  No relation to El-Masri

The years after 9/11 Operatives working for Al Qaeda, Taliban Islamic (and more generally Middle Eastern) Enemy Combatants (not prisoners of war, do not have legal protections)

Evidence from intelligence sources, secret communications, and statements by people now in custody reveal that Saddam Hussein aids and protects terrorists, including members of al Qaeda. Secretly, and without fingerprints, he could provide one of his hidden weapons to terrorists, or help them develop their own But chemical agents, lethal viruses and shadowy terrorist networks are not easily contained. Imagine those 19 hijackers with other weapons and other plans -- this time armed by Saddam Hussein.

How does the terrorist fit into US racial thinking? Historical opposition between white/black Historical opposition between white/other (including Asian, Mexican Am, etc.) 21 st Century growing acceptance of a national multi-racial society. Where does the terrorist figure fit in?

Race not biological, not essential Racial constructions as appearing in history (historically contingent) Shifting meaning and codes (race changes) Role of the contemporary global context?
