Are you a fan of "24"?

Yes, I am, and they do torture people. It's hard to watch but, when you are caught up in the story, it's also hard to argue with their approach. They even sacrificed one of their own to save the day--flat out murdered him. It makes you think about the Marquis of Queensbury. If the only chance you have to save millions of people is to torture the guy who set the nuke to find out where it is, I don't think you get points for being squeamish about it.


Do coercive interrogative techniques work,

I don't know. Like you, I had heard that they don't and I assumed it was so but who knows. We don't have enough information, I don't think.

If they did work, and if, like on 24, there were a catastrophe about to happen, would your standard change?
