The US government has been sued in the past, because of their training methods they have used. Though like I said, the point is to help them resist it. They weren't torturing the soldiers for months at a time. Of course their not going to be as upset with it as others, who are taken against their will and have it done to them. Though if you ask them, most of them will say that yes its torture. Your calling them liars because they are not protesting it's use?

What is a convenient assertion, is the claim that innocent lives where saved when there is no proof of that at all.

As for your scenario, it doesn't represents anything at all. You might as well be saying, what if the terrorist take over a satellite missile platform in space? Would it be ethical to launch a nuclear missile into a space to destroy it, or is there to much risk of the bomb exploding earlier and sending radiation raining back down on the planet?

The entire thing is highly unlikely, and really isn't a valid argument at all. Its never going to happen.

As for what I would do in the worst possible case scenario you can think of? I would interrogate the person without using violence against them. As I said, torture gives unreliable information. Stabbing him in the ass is more likely to get you false information and result in the death of everyone as the bomb goes off.

The exact type of integration would depend on the person and his motivations. What I would do though is have an expert on the subject who all agree that torture doesn't work do the interrogations techniques that are proven to get reliable information.

Things like telling him if he helps us stop the attack we will be more lenient on him in the future and that we may release him, and if he doesn't he will rot away in the worst jail there is for the rest of his life. A lot of people will give things up to protect themself.

Or you can talk about the innocent people who will die from the attack, if he doesn't help us. Just like how you want to look at them as monsters they see us the same way. But if you make it more personal, some of them will have a change of heart. Especially if you bring other people of the same religion into it, and say that it will result in the death of the very people he is trying to help.

We know stuff like that does work.
