When I worked for Department of Correction we were not allowed authorization for pepper spray unless we were willing to be sprayed by it.
As long as all those in favor of torture is willing to under go the exact same treatment they will be allowed to torture.

For those unaware our Military is retroactively wanting us to allow any means necessary to get information from our captives believed involved in terrorism. They have been filmed doing these procedures and destroyed the film. Leading me to believe they know what they are doing is wrong.

Your point is well made but you should specify the torture you are referring to. I am assuming you mean the captives from the middle east.
How about we give the captives to the Saudis to get the information we need? The Saudis are our staunchest allies and seem to be willing to do almost anything we ask. If the Saudis torture the terrorists then we won't have to be worried about the labels. The Saudis should want peace in the Middle East as much as us given it is their own neighborhood.
The Saudis simply cut off their extremities if they don't provide the information we request. Also I think terrorists would be afraid of the Saudis more than us. Also if we gave the terrorists to the Saudis then we wouldn't have to worry about the American courts or extremists to get involved. That is unless they want to travel to Saudi Arabia and protest there. hehe.

You conveniently forgot to mention the option of telling what information your "captors" want to know. Given that option, what's your point? I suppose we could just behead them, as our more civilized opponents are wont to do.
