Why is this hard to grok? You are not permitted to target the will and spirit of a man entirely under your power in order to break it and reduce him to a compliant plaything of your will. That he is entirely in your power confers upon you the obligation to be a human being rather than a fiend. If you choose to be a fiend, I really don't care how many other fiends you can point to, you aren't on my side and you aren't protecting me and you are not helping. You are my enemy and you are putting me under the moral obligation to fight and disarm you, which is extremely inconvenient.
We don't need to give our officers agents and politicians advanced classes on torture, we need to give them remedial classes on chivalry.
Being a martyr may appeal to you, but frankly, if some form of what YOU consider to be "torture" ( which I don't;72 hours? new mothers are sleep deprived for much longer than that !) would save thousands of innocent lives, I say go for it.
I am most assuredly NOT a "fiend". You're going to "come after me", are you? LOL
