Here is a thoughtful essay by Robert D. Kaplan. I could easily teach an entire course (or graduate seminar) on torture. A third of it would be devoted to the concept of torture, another third to the morality of torture, and the final third to the law of torture. There are many good essays already in print in philosophical and legal publications. How many of you would be interested in such a course? How many of you would view it as torture? (Sorry.)
Torture
