I would also like to turn the question around though:

If torture could prevent the mass killing of innocent civilians, do you see any justification in it?

No. I don't think torture is ever justified, under any circumstances. No exceptions.

If you start bending on this, you become the thing you hate. Take the moral high-ground or slide down the mountain. Good luck finding a comfortable place somewhere before you are below the person you hate.

Even if I thought it prevented mass killing in the short term, it is certainly likely to lead to more mass killing in the long term.
