An army-run school, with many children of military personnel, at that.

To bad we did not have a terrorist to torture to prevent this. Or would that have been wrong in order to save these children?
If I were to agree with you. Then we would both be wrong. As of Apr 5, 2015 10:26 pm I have 880 posts. Used to have over 1,000

But if we had a terrorist who knew of this impending attack and we knew there was some sort of attack planned and he was involved and had information to prevent this would you say that torturing him would not be the proper thing to do if it saved those children? That is exactly what I meant. Now tell me if my thoughts were correct or incorrect in saving those children. Is it more humane to let those children die or not torture one terrorist? I am not interested in your "maybes or what ifs" just answer the question. One terrorist or a hundred plus children? Oh wait...its a war crime. Oh wait it is a hundred plus innocent children. Do the math.

Of course, the most likely thing is that even if we did have such a terrorist etc., the day or site of the attack would simply be postponed or changed by the remaining terrorists.

What you are saying is that the terrorists believe that we would torture the individual and gather the info. But in the next breath you say that the info we would get from the terrorist is not good info...make up your mind. You know that saving those children is the right thing to do as opposed to not torturing the terrorist but you are to stubborn to admit it. So you just make up excuses to let the children die by the hands of these people. Well your views and mine differ greatly. I vote for save the children or countless other innocents. You vote for the terrorist's rights. He gave them up when he became a terrorist.

If a gang of bankrobbers plan a heist and one is captured by the police, do the other bankrobbers go ahead as planned or do they change plans? Do the robbers believe the cops tortured the robber to get details of the heist? Well, maybe you do.

Does the promise of a reduced prison sentence incentivize committed terrorists to give up key information work as well as it does with bank robbers?
