Yes, you are reading this correctly.
If it means the possibility that dozens, hundreds, thousands of lives might be saved through the use of torture to obtain information, well, we'd better use it. Or else, risk losing those lives.
I can't think of another way to express my sentiments more clearly.
You may disagree. But that's my opinion.
