I, personally, think it would do neither. I think that it would only legitimize the torture that already happens, and make it more open. I don't think that allowing torture warrants would equate to the government torturing more people than they need to torture. I think that would should certainly set up a a list of necessary conditions for torture, and we should indeed be worried when the government strays from that. I think that is the way with most government actions though. People ought to be more aware of what the government is doing. At any rate, if the public watches the government actions, warranting torture may in fact regulate torture. This is risky, in that the government can easily sway people to think that torture is for their own safety.
