We'll never know in which cases torture has been effective in preventing attacks or securing vital information and in which cases it hasn't.

Can't deny any of that - the motives behind what Bush has said and the US does certainly have little to do with what the UK thinks is right or wrong.
Anyway, most of us agree torture's wrong but I'd still like to know why killing's deemed legal and justifiable in certain circumstances and yet torture apparently isn't.
