You are basically saying we aren't being hypocritical because we are hypocritical about other issues. It makes no sense.
Now, why wouldn't you just lie to avoid having your toe cut off?

Where did you get the second hypocritical? I never said anything like that. I just said a goverment as a whole can't be hypocritical because the decision makers change all the time.
I am guessing the guy doing the cutting can spot a lie. The arguement is that they do these things (not toe cutting) to gain the good info. If they couldn't tell the difference between a lie and the truth we might as well not even question them right? I am condoning torture here. Just trying to answer your question.
