No one is going to admit they approve of torture? Well, the former president and vice-president of the United States did as I understand. And I'm afraid so did you just now in a way Big Al, by applying the term "inevitable" to its use. No, it's not inevitable that it should ever be accepted.

There are criminals who will use the confusion of war to carry out all kinds of vicious crimes, and that may be inevitable. Rapes will take place, and torture too, but there is nothing inevitable in them being used officially or clandestinely as a means of interrogation.
