Carl Sagan (I think) said we should be open-minded, but not so open that our brains fall out. It's even more important when discussing issues as morally fraught as torture, that we don't open our minds so far that our souls fall out.
Well said.
To me, that sounds a lot like saying "We should be rational, but we should stop before it feels too unintuitive or against social norms".
