You guys all seem to be very avid Christians; Would Jesus want them to torture anybody? See, this is what I don't understand; how you can't even manage to follow one of the simplest teaching of the man you admire most: TURN THE OTHER CHEEK! Alright then, I have an idea: I know you're not a terrorist (well, pretty sure at least, you never know), so how about we make you stay in a cold room for two days, huh? How about we make you stand on one leg for 24 hours? How about we simulate your drowning over and over again until you tell us what we want to hear, which is "I DID IT"? How can that procure accurate truths at all? You may try to say you're tough, but after that much torture you WOULD cave in. And even if you don't, then what? They still won't let you go, not until you tell them what they want to hear. So if they have so much evidence against these people then why don't they just prosecute them and get it over with? Now the whole system is tainted forever and they'll probably never get a trail (which means they'll have to be let go somewhere), which means no justice on either side. That's all this issue has created. This is where your logic becomes complete emotions; on issues like this. In another article you said
