I'm sure the victims of the Inquisition appreciated it that they did not use the rack or iron maiden.

And not using them makes torture morally OK, right?

Amendment VIII
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

Consider yourself lucky they put that in the basic law of your country.
