You have captured the terrorist who can disarm the bomb", you'll notice that you don't really have the time to do anything but torture the terrorist if you wish to survive. Not unless you can convince the terrorist to disable the bomb willingly, but I'm assuming you would have already tried this before planning to use any method of coercion.
The scenario or circunstances will ALWAYS be irrelevant, no exceptions should ever be made when it comes to someone's right to due process. I don't care who you are or what you've done I will never go against your civil rights because in the future, someone could just might as well come against mine, using some other type of rigtheous argument. Trust me mate, us who lived under a dictatorial regime in some point in our lives don't take these kinda things for granted!
