Yes. If there ever is a Hollywood-style scenario where there really is a ticking time bomb, and someone did manage to save lives through torture, that the district attorney might decline to prosecute, or that a jury would fail to convict, or a governor or president issue a pardon. Leave the laws on the books forbidding torture and leave such hypothetical exceptional cases for the mechanisms we already have in place to handle them.
