I think the question of torture comes down to essentially the same question as the death penalty.Are the rights of the individual more important than the greater good?Is it ok to torture any number of (possibly) innocent people (because you really can never be 100% sure you have the right person) in the hopes of getting information to prevent a larger number of people from being harmed?Is it ok to excecute condemned people, knowing that the possibility exists that some may be innocent in the name of greater good?Is "reasonably sure" good enough?Ironically...this may come back to bite me in the butt on abortion....

Are the rights of the individual more important than the greater good?
Is it ok to torture any number of (possibly) innocent people (because you really can never be 100% sure you have the right person) in the hopes of getting information to prevent a larger number of people from being harmed?
Is it ok to excecute condemned people, knowing that the possibility exists that some may be innocent in the name of greater good?
Is "reasonably sure" good enough?
Ironically...this may come back to bite me in the butt on abortion....
