<<Not sure about the legality in such cases>>

That's easy....there is no law that permits torture, thank God. Why do you think Cheney was lobbying so hard for the change?!?

You can go google and find out for yourself numerous reports that prove the ineffectiveness of the practice....I'll spare you and everyone else posting a slew of links. However I will paste one thing.......

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Article 5....

"No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment."

If you become a monster to fight the monster, you've effectively lost the battle. To call yourself Christian and to condone any form of torture, no matter what circumstance you dream up, is by it's own course a true definition of hypocrisy.
