Absolutely not
Apart from the fact that it is immoral, and in most countries illegal, it is also illogical.
If someone is subjected to sufficient pain, they will say absolutely anything if they believe it will cause the pain to cease.
Statements made under torture are not reliable.

Terrorists, chiefly islamic terrorists, are a very real threat to you, me, the USA, and all of your freedoms you take for granted. They have stated in no uncertain terms that they will be satisfied with nothing less than the conversion to islam, or the death of all unbelievers. They will not stop from being talked to, reasoned with, or anything short of their defeat to such an extent that their doctrines can be confined to limited areas, and their resources seized or destroyed.
This being the case, We cannot let our moral values stop us from doing what we must in order to defeat these threats. You live in a world where a man can infect himself with a deadly, communicable disease, enter this country, and spread death as a walking biological weapon. You live in a world where a shipping container sitting on a dock somewhere may contain a nuclear weapon with the timer set and ticking. You live in a world where hazardous chemicals are passing within miles of your house daily on freight trains. You live in a world where you can't trust your safety to a terrorist telling the truth without being forced by whatever means necessary. If the torture of a genocidist jihadist will prevent the death of one innocent life, We should not shy away from these methods. Remember, in islamic countries torture is used not only to discover the truth - but to FORCE confessions. The jihadists would LOVE to bring that way of life to YOUR town, they are used to the idea, so why feel bad about using their own methods against them? The CIA should not only be ALLOWED to use torture, The use of torture is an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY TO INSURE OUR SURVIVAL.
This is an us or them situation. Saying,"Please tell us where you will next attack innocent civilians, ...If you want to...." , JUST AIN'T GONNA WORK!

I would say yes. If a detainee (suspected terrorist) had knowledge of another disaster like 9/11 and the only means of gaining knowledge to it was by force, wouldnt the good of many outweigh the good of a few? War is ugly and even though we perceive ourselves to be less barbaric we still wipe out whole cities of civilians (Heroshima), to protect our great country.

Define torture. Is sleep deprivation torture? Playing Brittney Spears CDs? Isolating them and not letting them pray five times a day? Insulting or threating?

To a certain extent..,I believe in making the enemy feel like there will be no tomorrow..,i dont believe in breaking bones..,well maybe a finger,but hard core torture no.If you are referring to the terrorists we have now,I find nothing wrong with making them wear panties on their heads,putting wires that are hooked to nothing to private areas,scaring the hell out of them with dogs yet these are what our military got pressed with charges.I find nothing wrong with psychological torture.Hell I grew up with three brothers and they treated me worse than what those cry babies had to go through in gitmo and abu garabe[spelling?]no one saved me from torture lol.Too many whimpy *** cry babies that believe these dogs that want to kill our soldiers have more rights than the men and women dying for our country.

ABSOLUTELY OK, SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE BARBARIC. OUR INTENTIONS ARE TO PROTECT, NOT TO DESTROY. IF 9/11 COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY TORTURING ONE PERSON OR EVEN 20 WOULD IT HAVE BEEN WORTH IT? WOULD YOU NOT WANT TO TORTURE HIM KNOWING HE HAS THE INFORMATION YOU NEED?
