What do you think would have worked to get information out of someone who would like to blow your whole country up?

I wasn't really asking for moral judgment, just wondered whether or not you'd call that torture. I'm not busy comparing it to decapitations...simply trying to understand what's torture and what's not. The moral equivalency portion of the conversation isn't really helpful...or relevant for that matter.
