Torture is terrible thing to do - worse in many cases than killing them.

But many of us who generally think torture should be illegal admit we could rarely support torture in the ticking time bomb scenario.

And someone who was supposed to be on a 9/11 terror plane might well have had critical time sensitive information to save lives.

But we need some check to keep the government from torturing more broadly. Absent immediately saving another life, torture is cruel as defined by the Constitution.

Perhaps we could have torture warrants and the government should have to make its case to torture. I simply don't trust the government enough to decide on torture without checks and balance that the public can observe.

let me see, if a family member was killed by these BOZO’S, would you STILL feel like we should give them cookies and milk?

Why don’t we see liberals denouncing “Palestinians” for voting to bring back crucifixion? Wouldn’t they consider that torture?..and it’s fatal.
