re: #567 Bob Levin

I’ve got to run, but you’re picking hypothetical situations where torture wouldn’t be the right way to get information.

No, I’m not. I’m demonstrating inherent weaknesses in any torture scenario.


The point is, at some point during warfare, or when many lives are in danger, sometimes information is needed very quickly, and it’s up to your side to get that information. Thus far in our world, we haven’t figured out the proper way to do that. But there are times where the best we’ve got is all we’ve got.

And torture is not the best.
