Is torture justifiable if national security depends on it?
We have 9/11 to consider and possible future terrorist attempts on U.S. soil where you and your loved ones can become fatalities.
There is also the popular program, "24" (Jack Bauer is the main character) where terrorists and other horrifying villains are broken with very aggressive interrogation techniques or just plain torture.
Keeping these images in mind and the context in which they are in, do you support torture in extraordinary and exceptional cases where the lives of thousands of people are at grave risk?
You may add in your own option, if you wish.
