It does in this case, but that's not important because you're fine with torture. You aren't responsible so it's not your problem, not yours to deal with. It's just a part of the human existence and you don't judge it ethically or morally. Right? Or am I wrong? If you aren't fine with torture I'm assuming you'll be leading the charge to arrest and prosecute those American military and intelligence personnel that tortured then, demonstrating that you're not "fine" with torture?
Man, you're really painting yourself into a corner on this one.

Wait a second, we've got plenty of lawyers here on TFP. I'm sure one of them can make an educated determination as to whether or not consensual waterboarding in a controlled environment warrants arrest or is simply stupid but perfectly legal. Anyone?
