What check we might ask is there on courts in a population told their lives were made more secure by torture?
Would they have access to information adequate to evaluate such decisions given the practice of classified information? How would they judge whether interreges were correctly identified? What would prevent judges from retrospectively authorizing torture whenever official said,' security required here? Even if courts had access to classified information, how could a public lacking such access be justified in trusting them? If there were much chance that a court would not remit most of the penalty, surely the current clandestine practice would continue. This misnamed one off solution is no alternative to a torture culture. Interrogators who will be basically forgiven need torture training schools. Two, Daschuitzs is right to be concerned about clandestine torture. Even if useful information is extracted, interrogees are vulnerable to be pumped and dumped than is murdered.
