I think the ticking-time-bomb scenario is largely contrived. If there were conclusive proof that torturing (definition is open) someone would immediately save one million lives, then I'd be hard pressed to say "no, don't do it."
But this is almost certainly a purely hypothetical situation. I don't think there's a concrete example that even approximates it. Usually the lines are very broad and very gray.
