I'm not talking about "something", but crucial information with which lives could be saved. And like I said in my earlier post, there are many factors to be considered and it all depends on the situation.

If my father or my brother were holding back information that could save the lives of many and they wouldn't tell it just because they didn't want to, then they would be "bad" and they would take the chance of possibly being tortured.
