Random people we've never heard of get tortured every day for less. What's one more? Jack Bauer will do whatever he needs to do so everyone else can live and the world doesn't end.

Someone needs to watch "Knock at the Cabin" by Shyamalan.
Or Cabin in the Woods.
Absolutely!
In practice we all know what we would do. Given that morality is at best invented and aspirational that is the moral action. Or at least we think that it is.
I think it's a harder problem when you're the one that has to do the torturing. It's easier to say "yeah that dude should get tortured" than to do the waterboarding yourself. Unless you're fucked in the head of course.
I mean, easier? Sure. But I don't think most people would find it easy to just say go torture a guy. At least I hope so.
So, who do we torture?
