Assignment
Length: 1,500 -1,750 words
A mastermind behind 9/11, Khalid Sheik Mohammad (KSM), was captured in Pakistan in March of 2003. Immediately following his capture, KSM was subjected to a series of controversial interrogation methods, often referred to as enhanced interrogation techniques. These techniques included the now infamous waterboarding technique. Waterboarding is a technique that involves immobilizing subjects on their back with their head inclined downwards. The subject's face is then covered with a cloth, and water is poured over the cloth, which ultimately triggers the subject's gag reflex and causes the subject to experience the sensations of drowning. This technique is not a new technique; it has been around for hundreds of years and is used by nations around the world to collect intelligence.
You are an intelligence research specialist for the U.S. Department of Justice and have been asked by the U.S. Attorney's office to provide a written brief on the pros and cons of using waterboarding as a technique to collect intelligence.
