Torture never is right, not even close
The question posed on Page 2 of the April 22 Daily Herald, "Does Torture Work?" is a red herring. The real question is, "When Is Torture Right?" and the answer is "Never." Not ever. Not even close. Even if torture worked (and it has been tried enough that we would know by now if it did), it would rate at least 9.5 on a scale of wrongs from 1 to 10, right up there with slavery and murder.
