justify the use of non-lethal torture in-order to protect destruction. For instance, when a terrorist who has planted bombs is captured and they do not reveal about their terror plots during interrogation; the use of non-lethal torture such as putting a needle under the fingernails is justifiable as it will help to save hundreds of lives.
