To all of you accepting torture as a legit tool to avoid an attack innocent civilians:
Is the Iranian Government entitled to torture a captured american pilot to get intel on the supposed attack plans of the US on its nuclear installations ?
Is the Hezbollah and/or the Hamas entitled to torture captured Israeli soldiers to get intel on the attack plans of Israel against supposed Lebanon or Gaza civilians ?
Was the Gestapo entitled to torture my grandfather during WWII to get intel on the identity of its fellows terrorist of the Maquis des Glières resistance group ?
Was the japanese empire entitled to torture captured american soldiers to get intel about a supposed unprecedent attack of two mostly civilans cities with a rumored new secret weapon?

No, because they are the bad guys. Duh.
