Oh no...the idea of people wanting to end torture steams my clams. And it's terrible when my clams are steamed. I like them boiled! ...but I digress.
I think in times of war, or wanting to get information, torture is needed. It's like saying war isn't needed. I mean, I'm not saying we should go out and pick on someone, but god damn, if someone wants to take over the world (like Hilter), then war was the only solution. So...that's my stance in terms of torture. I don't think anyone was abusing the system, then that's different. Just stopping it altogether is just ridiculous to me.
