The Crowds Weigh in on Torture
From MAJORITY SUPPORT TORTURE:
    61 percent of Americans, 90 percent of South Koreans, and over 50 percent of citizens from France and Britain support the use of torture. On the other hand, the majority of people from Spain and Italy said that there were no circumstances that would justify such acts.
Under the new ethics, in which morality is not absolute but simply a social construct, I guess we would have to say that torture is alright in some countries but not in others to avoid being "judgmental."
