It finally comes down to the 1000 person question. Everyone MUST have a point at which they say "yes", Would you torture a person to save 1000 lives? How about 10,000? How about one million? How about millions - all of New York City? If you are not willing to torture one person to save 7 million lives, I believe you are truly immoral and inhumane. If we can agree to that, we are agreeing that it is more than a matter of principle but also of practicality.

The principle part is not subjective. The practicality part is subjective.
There is no way to know what information will be given and what its affect on future events would or would not lead to.
Just my two cents worth.
