I think there would be less torture with a warrant requirement than without one.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Opinions differ most when there is least scientific warrant for having any.
Whether you breach the Fourth Amendment 20 percent of the time or 100 percent of the time, it's still not the point. The point is whether or not you still collect millions of people's information with a single warrant.
Torture fails to make us safe, but it certainly makes us less free.
If we have to do enhanced interrogation on terrorists, then I can live with that.
If torture is going to be administered as a last resort in the ticking-bomb case, to save enormous numbers of lives, it ought to be done openly, with accountability, with approval by the president of the United States or by a Supreme Court justice.
No conditions justify torture.
Individual warrants every day are used to arrest dangerous people.
Torture is illegal, both in the U.S. and abroad. So - and that is true for the Bush administration and for any other administration.
If you don't pay your taxes and you don't answer the warrant and you don't go to court, eventually someone will pull a gun. Eventually someone with a gun will show up. I want everything the government does to be done, I just want it to be done voluntarily.
We do not need torture as an available instrument of interrogation.
