Hullbaloo points out that its the same reasoning that we used to authorise torture:
The argument is the same as the OLC used when it authorized torture of terrorist suspects. As long as the intent is to get information and not to injure the suspect or leave any lasting damage, then they could use pain to coerce the suspect into compliance.
