In a society that tries to claim that human rights violations are being done in other countries........this question shouldn't even come up without first admitting we are absolute hypocrites.  In my opinion, it should never be done....ever.  Saying ''It's ok in this situation....not however in this other situation'' is the absolute worst in 'means justify the ends' thinking.  If that's what we are then so be it...but if we try and stand for the absolute best in the world....or act like some kind of moral leader....then this question is nonsense....and trying to define 'torture'.....IF it's even being considered as on the freaking list then you have your answer...YES!!  Frankly, Im ashamed of our nation right now......We executed German and Japanese officers at the end of World War 2 for similar things ...and here we are 60 years later and we are even asking the question?  What happened to advancing as a society?  Something we knew was wrong 60 years ago and yet here we are trying to justify it now??  Sorry, if Im ranting but this particular question....as a former marine who served for our country in this latest war...really pisses me off.

Like being forced to go to a Celine Dion concert?  Only justifiable if you are guaranteed to get some from your wife/girlfriend after the concert if over.  Might actually have to be during the concert to justify it.

I don't really think it is justified but I think most would prefer it over death if its short term pain.  I think what they did to our guys in Vietnam is enough to convince me that its never justified though.  If anyone didn't know, they use to shove tiny glass tubes up mens wang holes and smash them with a hammer.  I would personally rather have my brains blown out.

Of course it would be do-nation.  I'm not afraid to say what everyone is possibly thinking...

Of course, when I said it the first time...it was b.s. this time too...

Jack Bauer is allowed to torture whoever he wants...

Seriously though, i think it depends.  If it's a terrorist and we need info from him, then i think it is justified to put him (or her) through some pain, as long as it is not too "cruel and unusual".  I don't think Prisoner Abuse is justifiable.
