Oh, yes. And in pragmatic terms, torturing people when there is less than a 10% chance that the prisoner is actually guilty of anything, and even a smaller chance that he knows something of  value, is counterproductive.


In real, emotional and gut level terms:


Great democracies do not engage in torture, not even when they call it something else and circumvent the law by labeling the prisoners with a new term.  The US still is one of the world's great democracies, isn't it?
