Does it mattter? Is it kindergarden?  "he started?"
A civilised nation should never go down on the level of terrorism, and torture is a very low level.
"We" are better than that, we should not use such methodes, no matter what those people do to us.

Science has been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death
