A Matter of Opinion

First let me make the disclaimer that nothing has happened to my children or any children I know. I saw something that made me think, and since that doesn't happen often, I thought I'd ask your opinion.

When it comes to getting information from a person regarding the safety of others, is torture ok if it leaves no lasting physical effects? In the war against terrorism, is it ok to torture people we suspect might have information on the next attack in order to save countless other lives? If a child has been kidnapped, is it ok to torture the kidnapper into talking? What if it were your child- how far would you be willing to go in order to find your baby?

Just a thought....

Salut!
