is tortur a solution to get important information?

• A terrorist has created a time bomb and placed it in a
  location where a large number of unsuspecting people will be injured
  or killed if it detonates.
• You have captured the terrorist and, if you can get
  information about the location of the bomb from them, you will be
  able to save many lives.

The scenario of the time bomb terrorist gives you the opportunity to
ask yourself what you would do in this extreme circumstance. Consider if
you were placed in such a situation — many lives are in danger because
of a bomb. You are in a position where you have the terrorist in
custody but he or she is refusing to give you the information needed to
stop the bomb. Could torturing one person lead to the greater good —
saving the lives of many?
