Are the persons we are tempted to torture officially P.O.W.'s, or are they criminal suspects? I had not heard. Further, if we resort to torture of P.O.W.'s or criminals to get information, shall we complain if enemies take Americans into custody and torture them for information?

By the way, I do not know what the legal implications of using some drug that would induce the people to tell the truth (i.e.truth serum) but perhaps that would be a way to go.

We don't complain, we KILL them.

Ever know of any enemy that hasn't? Hey the nazi's used machine guns as well, should we not use those?

Point is they are both common in WAR.

I fully expect they'll be doing that anyway.
