No, I would not torture the suspect because there is no such thing as 'reliable evidence' (re WMD). There is a possibility that I would be torturing an innocent person who while physically unharmed would be traumatised by my actions and may turn against me as a result. Their friends and relatives may be turned against me and my actions would be used to fuel the hatred of my enemies. Also if waterboarding was OK then more extreme forms of torture may be the next thing we discuss. |
