We can say torture and inhumane treatment are wrong. The rub may be in saying, "Anyone who advocates xy or z for any reason should be viewed with contempt."
This issue isn't black and white. There's a debate, even in government, about what sort of prisoner treatment should be allowed in extreme situations. Somehow these discussions need to remain civil and each side respect the other's point of view.
It would be better to talk about what a good thing humane treatment and not torturing others is, rather than speak negatively about those with opposing views - no matter how extreme.
