Your daughter has been placed in an underground cavern that is slowly filling with water. You know this, and you have the man who placed her there in your custody.
The only way to rescue her from certain death is to find her. But you cannot find her. There are 2.3 million underground caverns in this town.
The kidnapper refuses to disclose the location of your daughter.
Would I waterboard him? Probably not. It would be a lot worse, and most likely involve a hamburger grinder.
Would I be justified in doing so?
Use of deadly force is deemed justifiable when a person poses an immediate danger to others. Why, then, can't I torture the bastard?
The only objections I see being raised are emotional. Anybody have a logically sound objection?
