Default Torture?

I know who is for it and who is against it. I am neither endorsing nor
condemning it. The question is absurd, of course, but if you needed
information RIGHT NOW to save a loved one, would you use it? You
threatened to kick Fortenberry's ass when the jerk called your wife and
child some nasty names. That is a physical act leaving someone with
pain, and very possibly blood or even death. You would physically harm
someone over an insult but would not waterboard them to save a loved
one's life? That is not logical, Steve.


Actions that are appropriate for an extremely ****ed off person and an
institutional justice/military/intelligence system are two entirely
different things.
