Definitely Jack. One thing I like about Torchwood though is that the audience is constantly reminded that the use of retcon is morally ambiguous at best and downright wrong at worst-- far better than in something like Harry Potter, where the wizards wipe Muggle memories all the time, and no one even questions the ethics of doing so.
To me, the moment in Journey's End where Davros and Caan point out that the Doctor turns his humans into willing weapons, that sums up my feelings about Torchwood-- Torchwood is the dark shadow cast by the Doctor's light.
