There is nothing inconsistent in living by the rule of law and allowing narrow exceptions to the prohibition of torture. If it is legally defined and subject to judicial review, it is merely part of the law.

Euthanasia is a crime, yet doctors on a routine basis will administer morphine to a dying patient, easing the death struggle and shortening the patient's life by a day or so. This is done by consensus between the patient, the family and the doctor. Society looks the other way. Should we throw the doctors in jail? Should police patrol the hospital corridors, making sure that no treatment shortens life by a an hour, no matter the cost in pain or the wishes of the patient? Real life is not a simple thing.
