Even if you did agree that torture is justified in certain cases... Is it acceptable to detain 4 people without due process and torture them for every 1 terrorist you do this to? And how will this prevent terrorism in the long run? All these innocents that they're kidnapping and torturing... does that make them more or less likely to consider joining a terrorist organization next time they start soliciting new recruits? You're actively feeding what you're trying to prevent.
As for bombing Japan... "Well, we've done worse than this in the past so this is ok" and "Two wrongs make a right".
As for my edit, its a quote from Billy Madison and meant to be taken slightly tongue in cheek. Don't take it personally - its a joke.

Why do you keep cramming in the part about guilt or innocense or due process or anything else? I simply stated that torture is valid to prevent mass murder in my opinion. I have made no comments on if Guantanamo is legit or not. So before people start calling posts idiotic or incoherent I suggest they proof read first.
I never said two wrong make a right so where did you quote that from? I am honestly having a hard time figuring out your posts. You seem almost rabid in your lust to condemn me for something I did not even allude to.
In the past massive weapons of mass destruction have been used to prevent future killings. Currently they are using some form of torture on a small group of people that may or may not have had positive results with the intent on stopping more terrorist activities. You seem perplexed that I support forms of torture - do you realize this is a legit debate that can be free from hostility? How many people must die before you consider torturing someone for an answer?
And I do take your edits personally, considering you have assigned quotes to me that I never wrote. Perhaps you should think about what you are typing before calling it a joke.
