There seem to be some people who believe that it's a-okay to torture someone if we suspect they have any knowledge of any future terrorist attacks and/or knowledge of other people who might carry out future attacks, since it would save lives. We suspect Scott Roeder may have knowledge of future attacks and/or knowledge of other people who might carry out future attacks, and finding out about those now might save lives. Therefore it fits with that reasoning that we should torture Scott Roeder. And like the question says, would your answer change if there was a ticking time bomb in an abortion clinic right now?

Obviously I'm mostly interested in the opinions of people who oppose torture of Scott Roeder but support it on suspected terrorists.

Yeah, that statement does not actually imply that he has actionable intelligence on future attacks so no.

Also, he a US citizen, which complicates the matter from a Constitutional perspective.  None of the terrorists tortured in the War were citizens.

How the hell else would he "know" about these "similar events" if he weren't in contact with someone who planned them? Of course, I understand that it's difficult for you pseudo-libertarian social fascist collaborationists to be intellectually consistent (or honest), but please, try to humor me.
