Research Question
Ideas for research Questions:
1. What has been the significance of interrogation for security purposes in the United States and what arguments for and against it exist?
What has been the significance of interrogation for national security purposes in the United States and what arguments exist about where the "breaking point" is?
2. What are the different views on interrogation methods in the United States and what is the "breaking point" where interrogation should or shouldn't occur?
3. How has interrogation advanced in the last decade(s) in the United States and how has this contributed to the arguments regarding interrogation?
4. What types of interrogation in the United States are used to extract information, and how has this upset our citizens and other countries?
5. How do interrogation methods between the United States and other countries differ, and how has this caused disagreement and problems for national security?
Research ideas:
- Specific events.
- Has it been productive in the past?
- Other countries opinions?
- Breaking point?
- Common misconceptions?

Topic Proposal
A topic that I am interested in for my Human Rights Violation project is torture relating to terrorism or government support in the United States. Some people believe that it is against human rights to torture a "terrorist" or another person who has information that is crucial to national security. However, I believe that it is fair if this person has information that is not obtainable otherwise, and could possibly save hundreds of lives.

http://people.howstuffworks.com/torture-info.htm/printable: A HowStuffWorks article on how torture is used to retrieve information.
Some questions I have are:
1. What other countries use extreme tactics to get information? What other countries do not?
2. Do different countries have different viewpoints on this subject?
3. What is an alternative to using these methods? What do other countries against it use?
4. Are human rights more important than the safety of our country?
5. How much torture is too much according to the DHR?
