The purpose..

FrankC — 5/21/2005 3:37:26 PM (archived)

of my post was to draw a distinction between physical torture and insults like the reported (and withdrawn) Koran incident.

I have said that I see no reason that insults would be effective in eliciting information but if for some reason it proved to be effective it would not be immoral.
