| Message | No Man shall ever be tortured... No matter how evil he shall be. Why should be succumb to his level. Let us be a respectable nation in th eyes of the world and our own people and set an example for what is right and what is wrong. |

| Message | Torture is uncivilized, and it seems rather impractical besides. Won't torture simply make a martyr out of the victim? Will we even get accurate information from a person whose main interest is stopping the pain? What guarantee do we have that this allowance of torture won't be abused by corrupt members law enforcement? I fail to see a single positive aspect of torture, other than the possibility that the victim might surrender accurate information, which hardly outweights the cons. |

| Message | This is a ridicolous proposal, suggesting torturing people on the grounds of police defined so called vital importance. Who decides what is vital enough? |
