This is strictly my opinion, but any person who has committed inhumane acts probably shouldn't expect to be treated humanely when he is caught.
That wasn't my issue. My issue was that if we decide that torture is inhumane, then virtualising it won't make it less inhumane, because it's the same act. I wasn't arguing for or against torture.
