The problem with torturers is that they often have the wrong suspect. There is no way, at this time, to guarantee that the prisoner you abuse has the information that you want. It is not squeamish and self absorbed to realize that "dirtying" your hands with torture is a route many of the more unsavory despots of history have taken, and it is not a route anyone civilized would want to take, one would think.

I see a cute title for a book though:

Torture for Dummies: Not For the Squeamish and Self-Absorbed
