The problem with torture is where do you stop, after you start. The limits you and neocon describe have obviously been greatly exceeded by the bureaucracies at Guantanamo and Iraq, empowered to torture. In Iraq many people, rounded up because of vague suspicion or because they were at the wrong place at the wrong time, are routinely tortured -- especially now that the torture teams have been Iraqized. At Guantanamo, most detainees are foot soldiers with little, if any, valuable knowledge regarding imminent attacks, yet they apparently are all getting tortured long after their knowledge is irrelevant in preventing such attacks. And the guy that bureaucratized torture in America is our new AG.
