it is a fine line between getting information from someone who has information and getting it from someone who doesn't have it. I worry this is too slippery of a slope to stand on.
The next question is who gets to 'do it'. If it is my kid, maybe I could, but could you walk into a room and start cutting or beating on a hand-cuffed suspect, no matter what someone told you they might have or did? I don't know if I could.

I'm not naive enough to think that no matter how strictly worded anti-torture laws are or become, that those in the need to do business will still do, and maybe just a very few will actually know about it!
I think if it was my child, I could beat the hell out of anyone who I thought might know who might know where the box was. Let me rephrase that to" if it was any child". A beating will heal, but the death of a child?
