Of course you don't torture people if they could be innocent, but we know that this man isn't. He is a high ranking member of an organization that is bent on our destruction. This man knows a great deal about the members and inner workings of Al Qaeda. In my opinion, he is far game.

What separates us form them is not that we will use torture, but how and why we use it. We do not use it for fun, nor do we use it simply because we dislike someone. We use it as a means of last resort to gain information which will save the lives of other people.

Several weeks ago they caught a man that had abducted a woman, he admitted to it. They also belived she was still alive, tied up in a woods somewhere, but he wouldn't tell them. That would be a case in which torture would be a moral and justified act. As it stands now, he still hasn't told them where she is, and now she's dead. Had they used the thumb screws on him, she might be alive and at home with her family.
