"The bottom line is that nobody can resist being tortured. We will all talk. But using torture and aggressive interrogation to make people talk is not a good way to capture actionable intelligence. Rapport-building is much more useful." -- Jonathan Marks, associate professor of bioethics, humanities and law
Marks hosted the fourth Research Unplugged conversation of the fall season on Wednesday, Oct. 24. He discussed "Doctors of Interrogation: Psychology, Medicine and Ethics in the War on Terror" with colleagues and community members in the gallery of Penn State's Downtown Theatre. A full podcast of the event will be available on iTunesU and the Research Penn State Web site http://www.rps.psu.edu/index.html on Monday, Oct. 29.
