When did I say it was okay to shoot someone we've already captured? That doesn't sound like something I'd say. I'll stick with the "what we've defined as torture through prosecutions" definition. If we've prosecuted someone for torture for doing something, it's torture when we do it, too.

And you lose all the valuable intel in said head. That's not a lack of restraint, it's crazy. Also, it's first degree murder.
