re: #22 Talking Point Detective

Even if one thought that torture should be institutionalized within limits, they should not be so dumb as not to understand that under “right” conditions these limits may become very wide indeed, not to mention the inevitable “normal” abuse of this system. Then there’s the whole issue of normalization of torture. Once you accept it should be legal in some limits, and you’re at peace with this idea, there will be someone who would want to push the envelope.
