Jumping in here, but there is a grey area here. You can't be completely for or completely against some form of harsh interrogation. The example (again, bringing in 24 here) is what if somebody has information about a terrorist attack, that it will happen in say an hour, and you have somebody that you can directly tie to the terrorists. What are you going to do, "Aw hi, Mr. Terrorist Dude, do you want to tell us anything?" "No." "Ok."
Let's continue that scenario....

You start to torture this person, they still don't give you information. After a few hours, they finally break. They tell you that you need to go to a New York underground station at 3pm. At 3pm you get to the station. At 3.10pm, a bomb explodes in Washington DC.
Then the guy is put on trial for manslaughter. If the terrorist leads authorities to the bomb, then a deal could be cut, or a lesser sentence.

Yes, those are the techniques we should be using. "Tell us where so and so is, or where this bomb is, and you will be charged with murder 2 instead of 1".

Torture is just an unnecessary and stupid thing to use in any case.
 
Except the way things go:
"Holy sh't! We got a muslim here!"
"He our man?"
"who cares, he's probably a terrorist either way "
"After we water board him wanna play some cod?"
 
wife/gf? They could provide us with some of what pixel pirate posted here before 😛
