"If someone believes that there's a "ticking bomb" scenario, and thinks that torture is the only way to save lives, then I'm okay with him making that choice--and then turning himself in, losing his job, and going to prison. After all--aren't his career and freedom a reasonable trade-off for saving lives?"

Very well put.
