Why is this a topic of conversation? Even if torture worked it would not be ethical and the people doing it would be immoral.
The option to torture is always present. We must have a good reasons and framework not to do it. Ineffective is way better deterrent than immoral.
What if you knew they do this every two weeks to another family, would you do it then?
What if you caught someone that has a habit of planting bombs in schools, would you do it then ?
I don't know if torture works or it doesn't, but it's certainly a topic worth having a conversation over.
> If your daughter and wife were kidnapped by 2 people and you catch one of them
Does this happen often to your wife and daughter? Did it happen to anyone you personally know? Or is it a movie plot you are remembering.
I'm just saying that it's worth having a conversation over.
PS: what's up with the downvotes in this thread ?
Basically just suck it up and don't read too much into the "I disagree"s.
