Torture isn’t justified

That’s my conclusion after reading an essay on torture by The Economist.  The analysis indicates that generally torture is not effective or justified, though the  argument that it might save lives is that of the devil’s advocate and does not stand up to ethical scrutiny.  Its justification can only ever be self-serving and therefore unbalanced.
