Or he might not.

why stop there?

You bust a mid-level drug dealer, he wont give up his source, so torture him until he does. That could save potentially thousands of lives, right, in drug overdoses or street violence over turf.

Go to the maximum security wing of every prison and take out the known gang leaders and torture them all until they tell you everything about their network, inside and outside prison walls. That will save hundreds of lives potentially.

Any kidnapping, bank robbing or hostage situation, why not just torture any member of the team you get your hands on about all the others?

Why is it just for a “terrorist”? You don’t think once it is okay for doing it to a “terrorist” that what gets classified as terrorism isn’t going to change?

What’s the magic number, 10 people have to die before you can use it? 20? 100? Only if an explosive is used?
