By the way, I have qualified my position to be against torture of a prisoner with the assumption that the prisoner is subdued, and that is the only way the term 'torture' seems sensible to me.

I would consider a prisoner with his finger on the button (literally or in the sense of withholding information) to be an active agent of violence, from which I am entitled to defend myself and others. But that is a complex problem not the simple one we assume when discussing torture of prisoners.
