24 is over the top for me. Couldmt watch it after the first year because it beats the same dead horse, but it makes one overarching point. If there is a nuke in a city and you can get the code to disarm from a terrorist in custody, do you do whatever necessary? My answer to that has always been yes. Doesnt mean i am for torture but in those special cases i would bend/suspend/upend the rules.
I once had an SI poster and a mother say that she would rather watch her kids blown up than do what i suggested to save them. I was attacked for my stand on this as well as saying that if you have MADD in place, and if the other guy attacked, as president you have to have the balls to blow them to hell or Deterrence means nothing. I said i wouldnt vote for a president who i didnt think would do what was required out of some sense of morality.
