Haven't read Hobbes or Kant, aye?
To paraphrase Kant, and I'll use a somewhat older text here: you should do unto others as you would have them do. If that simple statement isn't enough, try Hobbes, if you don't behave in a civilized manner, and sink to other's level, you give up the very idea of civilization.
Do you really need some kind of explanation as to why it is bad to torture people?
