This thread should be with its companion threads:Why is so wrong to drive drunk?and...Why is so wrong to beat your wife?Psychologically: When anyone has to ask "why torture is wrong" they've already lost the intellectual argument and have jumped head first into the lynch mob or herd mentality.You don't torture because it's immoral & illegal. It puts our troops at even MORE likelihood that they will be tortured or killed if captured (in this conflict and every future conflict). It exposes our officials to international war crimes charges and diminishes are credibility in international courts when we try to claim torture & war crimes charges against other countries leaders.Not to mention the intelligence raised through torture has over & over again been proven to be so hit or miss (because people under that stress will often say only what they think their captors want, true or false) that it is at the very best only marginally useful often false information anyway.
