I am against the liberal uses of torture though, only on those who might be suspected of having info.

I know I'm supposed to find this reassuring. Such magnanimity.

I am not a pacifist, btw. I adhere to the classic Christian doctrine of just war.

No not being magnanimous all, your cheap shot failed, just a waste of time torturing everybody, can lead to all kinds of bad info and could lead to soldiers to dehumanize the civilian population unjustly.

Also what is more just than government using their “just sword” to gather info that could save lives and end the war more quickly? You tongue seems to have a fork in it.
