For someone always harping on B&W conservative thinking...

you are quick to ask for a B&W answer.

Your unwillingness to listen to anything but the sound of your own thoughts doesn't deserve an answer but the fact is there is no pat answer.

Here is a couple of B&W answers for you:

It is wrong for anyone to torture a false confession out of a fellow human.

Torture resulting in the preservation of a million lives would be justified imo regardless of who tortured who. Intellectually I can make that conclusion, otherwise I am free to choose sides based on many factors

Here is a grey answer for you:

The value of torture to obtain reliable information is so questionable it become a doubtful tool but there may be situations where the end would justify the means. Can you think of one?

Differentiating between us and the enemy on an isolated issue is pointless. Sauce for the Goose is sauce for the Gander, whether it be positive or negative.
