NationalJournal.com has an interesting column today that ponders the question of when torture should be employed to get information from prisoners, if ever. I tend to favor never employing torture to get information, even in so-called "ticking bomb" situations. Aside from the moral problems, torture basically works equally well to produce accurate and false confessions, which makes any information obtained via torture suspect.
