One of the questions the so-called "right-wing nut jobs" ask when trying to justify "advanced interrogation techniques" and/or torture is this:
If your daughter/mother/wife were kidnapped somewhere and were in mortal danger, would you torture someone you had in custody whom you know without a shadow of a doubt knew where said family member was, would you torture them to get the truth out?
What really made me want to post it is the recent guy-hitting-toddler-at-wal-mart thread were everyone said they would do bad things to the poor old grumpy man.*
So... would you torture based on the situation the "right-wingers" gave, or would you let you family member die?
Personally, I couldn't. I try to be nonviolent. I might feel guilty later about not taking action, but I think "an eye for an eye leaves everybody blind."
*poor-old-grumpy man = idiot old guy who deserves jail time
