Torture is ineffective and, worse, often counterproductive.

An example report: http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2012 ... errogation

Furthermore, the state using torture is arguably a much bigger threat to civilisation than the terrorists we're talking about.

I'm not concerned about it being morally justifiable or otherwise. I'm concerned that it is stupid, and it does the work of the terrorists for them.
