I consider murder worse than torture. Oh torture is bad, terrible really. It's one of the worst things you can live through, but in the end you are still alive if it was JUST torture (kinda hard to say "just" there). I will say that almost every time someone is tortured, it does end in death, but since this is an argument about splitting hairs, I will.
Death is the end, there's no pulling your life back together from that. Torture on the other hand, while it may be tough, people can and have managed to get over the pain and have a good life after that.
That isn't to say that anyone who tortures another human being isn't utter scum.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
