Didn’t say he did. But he was not afraid of pain.

Any, as far as I can tell, waterboarding does no permanent damage, and fails to meet the level of torture, as I understand it.

At any rate, in this imperfect world, we are sometimes confronted with hard choices. In these cases, I will always choose my own side.

Nobody but the Left will try to stop you. However, the premise that your "side" of a conflict is also Jesus's side requires some logical argument and some realistic support, not just an assertion.

Rape usually does no permanent physical damage, either. Your reasoning has ... gaps.

Let’s run with this.

“Is rape Biblical?” Sure it is. Plenty of rape is recorded in the Bible.

“Is it possible to use rape or the threat of rape to get information that couldn’t be gained by gentler methods?” Sure it is.

“Might that information prevent a deadly attack?” It can’t ruled out ... although it also can’t be proved that no other method, no other information source, would have achieved the same result.

“Does rape always cause permanent physical damage to the (male or female) subject?” No, it doesn’t.

Ergo, Jesus is in favor of rape, if “we” really think it’s essential.
