      Listen, you can defend torture, or you can defend the Constitution. Not both. The 8th Amendment explicitly forbids torture with all forms of cruel and unusual punishment. To defend torture is to attack the Constitution.

      It's a tough call Edward. What is more morally wrong? Torturing someone you know has info that will kill 1000's or doing nothing and 1000's are killed.

      It's not. @CIA tortured people for years thinking it worked. The Senate read 6,300,000 classified CIA files—years of records—to determine if it was true. They found torture never helped. Never saved a life or stopped an attack.https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-fg-torture-report-20141210-story.html …

      Even if torture was effective—and the CIA proved it is not—torture is wrong. It is a barbarous violation of human rights, and our condemnation of it is what separates us from those we rightly call monsters. A government that tortures has no legitimacy.

          Only in games and movies will torture work. It may work in the movies and games, but that acts on a script. In reality, torture makes people less likely to talk and will just end their life, thus killing what information they might have had. Bribes on the other hand might work.

          Imagine the scenario someone credibly knew all about the upcoming Parkland shooting and refused tell when, where, how it was going to happen? So we just let it happen? Not sure I could tell the parents of dead children we made the right decision.

          "Hypocrisy is the homage that vice renders to virtue" In this case two vices: (terror & torture), two virtues: (civil liberties & accountability). The hypocrisy is to avoid the conflict between security & civil liberties, which in turn compromises accountability.

          Are you afraid of being tortured for your knowledge due to the fact that youre guilty of treason? The Deep State idolizes you. You got your own movie. You are aware of Q and you are aware that you are going to spend life in Gitmo. Fuck you.

          Not to mention that every single human has a breaking point. After you meet yours, you will say anything to stop the pain. Does not matter if it is true or not, you say what you think they wanna hear.
