do you think that by constantly restating that torture is wrong that somehow you've twisted my post into saying torture is right?

You were justifying torture. Read your first point. You are saying "this is wrong, BUT, aren't they all criminals anyway?"
If that isn't justification, what is it?
Also, as I said, they weren't all criminals. You're presuming them all to be guilty. Many of them were just rounded up for being in the general area during an attack.
So, let's put this in perspective. Unknown to you, your next door neighbor is selling crack to children. While you're at his front door borrowing the lawn mower, the police swoop in, arresting you as well. While you're in custody, they decide to interrogate you because they assume you are guilty. They start out with a little beating; then they they let an attack dog loose on you; then they strip you naked; then they put you in a pile of other naked prisoners; then they take photos of you masturbating.
Is this ok? It's all in the name of stopping crack dealers, right? And you wouldn't be in prison unless you were guilty, right?
Perhaps you could address some of my points or Mehoni's points?
