Torture as a Knowledge Problem
If someone knows something you don’t know, how can you know that they know it?
How can knowing that someone knows something you don’t know translate into knowing that if you were to know what they know you would know how to save some unknown person from an unknown threat that may or may not exist?

Insert gratuitous “‘We’ who?” in this space.
“We” — the forces of order, propriety and good taste; you commie fag. [/snark]
