Is Torture Justified?, University Paper.. Options

[Slimshady]

I'm writing a paper and whether or not torture is a justifiable act. I just wanna hear some your opinions, later i'll put up some scenarios to see how you fell about them.

Thanks

Actually, I don't watch 24 or CSI. I'm referring more to the prisoners that the coalition forces have interigated in Middle East or in our own prisons. We have gained intelligence of future attacks/bombings and have successfully stopped them. We have captured more people as well, many of them could have been the next Bin Laden. We captured Saddam and killed his sons through intelligence gained from friendly and interigation methods.

I'm not trying to say that people should have their limbs cut off... all I'm saying is that if interviewing a prisoner and playing loud music in his cell so he can't sleep can get information from him or her that leads to my countrymen not being killed, I'm all for it.
