应该允许军队使用加强的审问技术，比如水刑，来从被怀疑的恐怖分子那里获得信息吗？

9月11日之后，2001恐怖袭击的布什政府授权在世界各地的秘密监禁设施由美国国防部和中央情报局运行使用“强化审讯手段”。授权批准使用的许多技术，包括殴打，在压力位置，蒙头，剥夺睡眠和水刑的结合。 2008年，美国总统奥巴马签署了一项行政命令，禁止由美国军方和中情局使用酷刑。在2016年使用酷刑成为总统竞选期间的话题时，候选人唐纳德·特朗普建议应该针对伊斯兰国使用。折磨的反对者认为，美国不应该实施酷刑，因为它是根据国际法不人道的和非法的。支持者认为，军方不应使用酷刑的预防，如果他们认为它会保持该国的安全。

U.N. Says rape Occurred During Hamas Attack on Israel

A team of United Nations experts reported on Monday that there were "reasonable grounds to believe" sexual violence, including rape and gang rape, occurred at several locations during the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas militants.The team - led by U.N. special envoy for sexual violence in conflict Pramila Patten - visited Israel between Jan. 29 and Feb. 14 on a mission intended to gather, analyze and verify information on sexual violence linked to the Oct. 7 attacks."Credible circumstantial information, which may be indicative of some forms of sexual violence, including genital mutilation, sexualized torture, or cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, was also gathered," read the 24-page U.N. report.Palestinian militant group Hamas has repeatedly rejected accusations of sexual violence.Hamas fighters attacked Israel on Oct. 7, killing around 1,200 people and seizing 253 hostages, according to Israeli tallies. Israel's retaliation against Hamas in the Gaza Strip has since killed around 30,000 Palestinians, health authorities in the Hamas-run enclave say."The mission team found clear and convincing information that some hostages taken to Gaza have been subjected to various forms of conflict-related sexual violence and has reasonable grounds to believe that such violence may be ongoing," the U.N. report said.The team said a "fully-fledged investigation" would be required to establish the overall magnitude, scope and specific attribution for the sexual violence.
