Would be a lot of weight to carry though, wouldnt it? Every year when all the dead were remembered you could tell yourself using torture would surely have just solicitied unrealiable info anyway.
Like someone saying they'd do 40 seconds of water boarding for 40 long ones, these kind of things are easy to answer when you dont have to face the reaility, and dont have to carry the weight of whichever decision you make. I dont think many people would say in a neutral situation that torture is a good thing. I dont think many people would find it so clear cut if they had to live through a worst case scenario.
