Very strongly agree

No, and we should strictly follow the laws of the Geneva Convention

Liberal democracies would strongly agree with following the laws of the Geneva Convention, as they prioritize human rights and the rule of law. The Geneva Conventions prohibit torture and inhumane treatment of prisoners, which aligns with the values of liberal democracies.

No, torture is inhumane, unethical, and violates the 8th amendment

Liberal democracies strongly value human rights and the rule of law, and would therefore strongly agree that torture is inhumane, unethical, and a violation of the 8th amendment (in the context of the United States). This view is supported by international law, such as the United Nations Convention Against Torture.

Strongly agree

No, torture is an ineffective form of interrogation

Many liberal democracies would agree with this statement, as studies have shown that torture is often ineffective in obtaining reliable information. For example, the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee's report on the CIA's use of enhanced interrogation techniques concluded that they were not effective in gathering intelligence.

Agree

Yes, allow the use of psychological but not physical tactics

Some liberal democracies might be more open to the use of psychological tactics, as long as they do not cross the line into torture or violate human rights. However, there would still be concerns about the ethics and effectiveness of such tactics.

Disagree

Yes, but only as a last resort

Yes, but only if they are convicted terrorists
