It is a really tough issue. I'm not sure that what an individual does on a personal level should be applied to our society's/government's position in world politics. If you have the guy that *truly* *knows* how to stop a nukular explosion in Los Angeles, I don't have a problem with torturing him to save millions of lives. Torturing when there is speculation, and no "clear and present danger" is not the position a government should take. It smacks of how other governments justify their support of terrorism.
