Good question.

NO, as it conflict's with international law (well kinda, its a pretty vague definition and is common practise in many countries) so in that respect no. But, ummmmmm if for example they ever got osama and there was a new terrorist plot, would we be justified in beatin the crap out of him till he coughs up? I am not sure, these guys are very hardened, e.g the British SAS just dont crack under torture, some of the stories you hear would have u singin like a canary but not these guys. Would be the same for terrorist's to be tortured and killed would give them marterdom, which we dont want, sooooo No. You start makin expemtions for certain people you are heading for problems.

So it is best just to say no, therefor I agree with you, however it is very easy to understand why people would think yes.
