So, if torture is such a surefire way of stopping bad people from doing bad things, should we expand this totally foolproof method to, say, the police force.

Let’s say a woman is beaten and robbed and her husband is shot to death by what she says are two men. The police catch a guy that they think might be one of the robbers. Should they also torture this guy in order to prevent the other criminal at large from killing anyone else?

This whole TTB scenario is ludicrous, because under the previous Administration, EVERY SITUATION was viewed as a TTB.
