What kind of question is that? Do you have children? If my child were purposely severely hurt, maimed or killed by a malicious evil person without cause but for kicks, that would be cause enough for me to subject the perp to torture. I don't care how heinous that sounds. I would go nuts and do it. I'm not talking about a blind act like a buried IED or bomb. I'm talking about MS-13 type criminals who target innocents.

You misinterpreted my comments and my question. I was not taking issue with your statement at all. I was just curious to know what kinds of criminal acts you had in mind where torture would be justified. Your example regarding your child would surely be on my list as well, and I can think of quite a few more examples where torture would be warranted.
