If you're not livin on the bleeding edge...
You're taking up too much space.
Torture’s bad and should not be encouraged.
“But what if we need information from them?”
There are many methods of interrogation that are far more effective than torture. Torture itself is demonstrably ineffective.
“But what if we don’t have time for it because terrorists are going to nuke Los Angeles in 24 hours or less?”
Whoever you’re torturing will tell you whatever they think you want to hear to make the torture stop, not necessarily anything useful. You’d probably just waste more time.
“But they’re bad people who deserve to be hurt for being bad!”
Maybe they are really bad people. Are you really comfortable with giving your government the power to torture anyone it thinks is “really bad”? Especially without due process?
“But I just really want to hurt people!”
Well, then maybe you have more in common with the bad guys than you’d like to admit.

When you need to kill a commie tank, the tank behind it, and somehow the development of a further variant of both tanks!
Accept no substitutes.
