"How can anyone put the comforts of terrorists ahead of the lives of innocent people is beyond me"
I'm not against torture because I care about the comfort of terrorists. I am against torture because I care about the welfare of the united States her people, her military and her allies and I believe it is better to avoid torture under almost any temptation. I also care about innocent people who might get arrested for one reason or another.
Information gained from terrorists already prevented multiple attacks.
The bottom line is: are you in favor of getting information from terrorists, by whatever means, to prevent the murder of hundreds, thousands or even millions or innocents.
Your answer is no. So you clearly place a higher value on the comfort of terrorists, than the lives of thousands of innocent people that said terrorists are plotting to murder.
