This piece is particularly interesting. What is the ethicacy of using intelligence extracted under torture in a third-party country. Can we fight terror and ignore torture? What is more compelling: The human rights of a lesser group or the security of society-at-large?
The favourite question posed in defence of the torutre question is: What if there is a nuclear bomb which is about to explode in a city of millions and one person knows the location of the device? Surely the nees of the many outweigh the needs of the few?Shame that utilitarian imperative isn't extended to society in times of relative peace.
