We can all talk, but if you would get in a situation where you could save your family by beating someone up, I seriously think that everyone of us here would do it.

This is an interesting line of thought. So, you're saying that if you were 99.9% sure of a person's guilt, torture is okay. What about the possibility that he/she may die? Would that be okay too? How certain would you need to be? Would it matter if only a few others believed as you did? Would you go ahead with the torture if there were some dissention?
