As Chad said in post #2. Torture doesn't work because the tortured will tell anything and everything just to make it end. Might be the truth, might be pure invention. So, apart from being despicable, it's useless.
This is the most popular response. Torture doesn't work for investigation! I know, guys, I really do know. I think torture is disgusting. I don't think there are any circumstances where it is acceptable. I think the only circumstance where I might end up doing it, would be if someone tortured me until I agreed. I don't even think a death threat would convince me unless the way I would die is really awful. But not everyone agrees with me. So I was just wondering if there are any circumstances where any of you guys might think it's ok to torture someone.
