It's not an activity I'm going to choose to participate in at this time.

This injunction applies to humans. In my book, certain acts tell me that you have resigned from the human race. In this 21st century, there are certain standards of behavior expected of people. If you violate them, you are nothing more than humanoid vermin.
I have no problems at all with killing vermin, even if they look human. If they have information that will save lives I have no problem with doing whatever it takes to get that information.
Putting underwear on people's heads, making them stand naked and having dogs bark at them is not torture.
Most injunctions against torture as an interrogation method were enacted by the geneva convention as a quid pro quo. Our current enemy is not a state, is not a uniformed soldier, and has no standing under the Geneva Convention. Their self-documented atrocities, including decapitation, pretty much opens the dorr for us to treat them as we see fit.

Yes, I believe that it is. I know a lot of people disagree with me on this and that it is a hot political issue. But I look at it this way. If one person is tortured for information that will prevent the murders of thousands then it is worth it. I don't like that we have to resort to these measures but make no mistake if the situation was reversed we would be tortured by our captives for less reasons. This has already been proven by the beheading of a newsman, the torture of prisoners of war not just this war but vietnam, WWI etc. It is not pleasurable to think about but it is an unfortunate reality in todays society.

Depends on whose law you want to live by.
If you want to follow the Bible, you can't. When soldiers asked Jesus what they needed to do to be saved, among other things he told them to "do violence to no man any longer" Luke 3:14 KJV
For the first 3 centuries after the start of Christianity, before RC church was made the state religion, those who became Christian left politics and the military.
2 Cor. 10:3-5, Romans 12:19-21 and more.
Also history books.

You do comprehend that those ignorant Christians do not understand the English language and by some ability draw a huge difference between killing and murdering. even regardless of the reality that the initially Hebrew does no longer draw the kind of massive difference. Liars for Jesus

I got an ex room mate with a horrible drug problem and one boob--just put her in the room with them to 'chat them up' and I promise they'll give you any info you need to get her out of there. No physical harm done, but months of therapy may be needed.

Torture isn't showing God's love. I don't know there is ever any excuse to torture anyone.

How do you decide what's "vital" and just how has torture ever resulted in the "truth"? So NO, torture is not acceptable.

Torture of all forms is wrong. Especially when it is the innocent that is tortured. E.g those who are in Guantanamo Bay are tortured every single day and they are not even proved to be guilty.

What if the suspect dies and he never gets to reveal the info those guys need?
