Do the ends justify the means, or, are the means (torture) always wrong?

Torture to extract confessions is notoriously unreliable, but what about gathering verifiable information? If the person were a known terrorist that had killed innocents, and had information regarding future attacks on more innocents...

I don`t know, all I know is what Jesus said, I guess I would have to be in that particular position to know.

I can easily see killing some one to save some ones
life but torturing some one for information they may or may not have I just don`t know.

I don`t think I will have to worry about it because there are many people who do not believe as I do.
