While Ustwo's example is extreme, its not that far fetched to be facing a high stakes scenario where hundreds or thousands of lives are on the line, and a captured subject may have information that could help you prevent it.

What do you do in the case that he wont talk? Sit back and marvel about how civilized and moral you are because you refuse to torture him? In the meantime people die. Or... do you try and extract the info by any means necessary?
