I think you should have left out the question altogether, or phrased it as an assertion: "nothing justifies torture".

- spangry 11y agoI probably muddled my own point by descending into a rant in the OP. I just found the unsaid implication, that torture is fine if the person does possess information you want to know, worth examining. Perhaps consider it this way: imagine all of the assertions made by the Bush administration about the victim were correct; he really was the Al-Qaeda 2nd in command, he had smuggled high-ranked Al-Qaeda members out of Afghanistan etc. Would there be a defensible justification to torture him, and what would that justification be?
