Obviously this is in regards to convicts, terrorists etc.
I think torture is necessary during times of war to extract crucial information. Other than that, it should never be implemented anywhere else.

-blam!-ing up one of the enemies guys to save even just one of our guys is an acceptable ratio. Torture does not make you give out truthful information, but it does make it difficult to hold a bullshit story together. And no, we are not "better than that", nor should we be. It's war, all morals went out the window the moment we decided to starting killing our own species. Because war is not about "being right" it's about protecting your own people. 2edgy4me? Possibly
