There is one good reason- another is that torture and 'torture-like' methods are reportedly as unreliable as any other interrogation method. Let's also not forget we are supposed to have scruples- that is a sense of morality and a respect for human decency and innocent life. The kind of scruples some of our enemies lack. [/QUOTE]Not my view. In my view, scruples go out the window when security/safety is on the line or when you are fighting a tough fight against an unscrupulous enemy. But, because we signed those conventions, exercising a different view has been preempted. So, to me, it's the most important reason. "It's morally wrong" doesn't get one very far in court, and I guess that limits my view of it -- call it professional tunnel-vision.
