I'm sort of in the middle on this. I agree with torture only if there's no better (more humane) way, and only if the person being tortured actually has real information that means the difference between life and death for innocent people. I don't care who you are, being tortured for information you don't have would be like hell on earth, no way out except to lie and then once they find out you lied you're in for worse torture.

Isn't technology advanced enough that we could get reliable information out of prisoners without torture? Maybe a creative way of using a lie detector or brain scanning or something, which I think would work even if they refuse to talk and someone is asking a bunch of questions.
