It's only when you compare the action to others that the morality of an action can be determined. So the choice is still the same -- let more people die, or get the information even if it means violating Geneva. Those are the only two. There's no magical third option where we don't get the info and the insurgency drops flowers at our feet.
I dont want to get to involved in this argument because it dosnt affect me personoly. my opinion is my own as is everyones. but i must question this. how can killing be less or more wrong? does killing an enemy in defence make them any less dead? killing is killing in my opinion. and i dont mean to belittle your opinion, on the contrary i respect you for your arguing what you belive in. but it is my belife that you could justify almost anything, but when it comes down to it, its either right ir wrong. and most all people can tell the difference.
