Should an egoist be willing to torture millions to benefit himself?

Well, the first question is how is it of value to you to torture another? How could you benefit? Obligatory? Shows the character of an altruist, in that, the question implies that coercing others is a good. And that people are inherently evil, since, you are "obliged" to torture another person when you act "selfishly." This person only understands Intrinsic value judgments (when they aren't acting Subjectively I assume). They don't comprehend Objective value judgments and so are ignorant of the context of the situation concerning good or bad actions (everyday). Maybe if you were in government and you were "obliged" to torcher the enemy for information but that also is unreliable as a means of getting "accurate" information (though I have no experience in military or public office). One can mind his own business and at the same time manage not to torture people. hahaha good god people...

Well I thought some more and I was wrong. After I remembered Galts torture scene at the end of Atlas Shrugged I thought Duh! My sanction of torture in my previous comment, if you were in the military or public office was ... well not good. I meant the obligation part of it and not the torture as such, but still a weak argument. I apologize, thank you.
