Is burning not torture?

Nope.
Being sent to hell to be tortured for all eternity for simply using your head....no matter how you look at it, it's the most disgusting, vile, inhuman, unjust, barbaric act anyone can imagine.
Totally agree.

No. You cannot.
Expedience? Maybe. Morality? Never.
Let me see. A criminal has hidden an A bomb in your city that will go off in less time than it takes to evacuate a million people. He admits this to his torturer.
I think it may be morally justified then to try to torture the information out of him.
The good of the many in this case would need to be placed above the good of the one to be tortured and even above the good mental health of the one doing the torturing.
Do you agree or is it more moral not to try to save a million people?
