Let’s change the scenario.
.

This has degenerated into a version of what John Caparullo calls the “What Would you do for a million dollars” game…

Seriously, what if, it was crippled girl in an iron lung, and there was transplant on a plane, and a terrorist was on the flight, would you do torture then? What if it was your niece? What if it was your daughter!

Come on. Enough already.
Any arbitrary line that is drawn for when you torture, can be redrawn anywhere at anytime. You either think it is okay or you don’t.

You can come up with 5,000 variations on “Would you torture the terrorist now” game. They are all kinda moot.
