It is never acceptable, with the sole exception being self-defense. Torturing a man to death, regardless of who it is, is no more dignified than molesting children.
Torturing the man that molested my nieces would have been quite acceptable to me....and my nieces.
It is not false proof, but evidence that can be used legitimately to deteriorate the deterrent claim. It is not full-proof, but the primary burden of proof rests with those who make the claim.
Bold: It is if it doesn't tell the whole story.
Underlined: Exactly. And those that are saying that it is not a deterrent are the ones making the claim.
