re: #545 Obdicut

We’re not going in circles. You’re simply not providing any coherent argument in the least, at all. Do you seriously not recognize that?

You have provided absolutely no scenario where torture would ever be useful. You provided a scenario where, whatever a terrorist said under interrogation, you would go and ‘verify’, meaning that he could simply lie endlessly and you would be endlessly stymied by it.

You have not done anything, at all, to support your position. It is bizarre to me that you think that you have.

Back.

Let’s change the scenario.

Suppose a Janjaweed field commandeer is captured. His troops have been rampaging through Darfur. With one radio call he can call his troops to immediately stop the carnage. If the call is not made, the slaughter, rape, and mayhem continues unabated.

That is one case I would support torture.
