Closer and closer…

American soldiers captured one of Saddam Hussein’s bodyguards and at least two other suspected associates in pre-dawn raids Tuesday, the U.S. military said.

Soldiers fired two shots before storming the Tikrit home of the suspect, who was identified only as one of Saddam’s longtime bodyguards. He was escorted from the house minutes later.
Reporters traveling with the U.S. troops saw blood on the right side of his head, seeping through a hat.

The man resisted inside the home and soldiers had to wrestle him down, Lt. Col. Steve Russell said. A medic attended to him as he sat in the back of a Humvee under close guard.

“We got our prime target,” said Russell, standing in front of the house. “This man was a close associate of Saddam Hussein.”

Just curious: when is it morally acceptable to use torture to get information? Is this one of those times?
