Yes.
I would not be happy employing torturers that took a sadistic pleasure in the act, or who performed the act with rage. I would want them to calmly rationalise that in some way their victim was not human and was merely a piece of meat to be carefully mutialated and its responses recorded.
What?
Stop looking at me like that!
