To answer your question, if lives are involved, I suppose you do whatever is necessary. But again, that's not for me to decide in a forum like this. Which is good.
However, I don't think that there is much of a corelation to one person and a bomb and hundreds of people -- most (if you believe the aformentioned Generals report) of whom know little or nothing important.
Finally, "experts" who discount torture as a valid interrogation technique also say that physical violence also doesn't generally do anything except make the victim say whatever it is you want him to say -- not necessarily the truth.

These same exoerts say that it has worked in the past, including one situation where torture was applied over 40 days to save the pope from being bombed. It may not be right for every situation but it might be for some.
