You feel torture is morally repugnant yet would be willing to kill someone who committed the act. Seems a bit hypocritical to me. That being said, I'd go along with the idea, but would prefer jail time over death penalty - unless the torture resulted in the death of the torturee. However, on the flip side, I think we should also hold those accountable where diplomatic attempts also failed and people died - seems only fair. I think its cute that in your example you used the term 'America hero' and then said you would sign up right now. Gruss == my hero ;)
