Is torture ever justified?
)
August 18th, 2011
Consider this situation (a likely situation nowadays I would assume): one of the state authorities/security forces/intelligence have apprehended a man who has admitted to being privy to information about a planned terrorist attack which will kill hundreds of thousands.
The authorities know that if they torture him he will give up the information (let’s assume this fact is a given) and they will get to save many many lives.
What do you think? Should they? Would you?
