    With the writer's strike and all, maybe you could sell that script to CSI: Whatever.

    Can we please not run through the list of plot outlines for next season's '24' every time the discussion turns to a national policy of torture. Please?

    You want something to talk about? Talk about this:

    We're kidnapping women and children.

    Watch last night's 'Frontline.' Pay particular attention to the renditions from Kenya to Ethiopia.

    How about, "Surf's up!"

    So the question then isn't whether the use of physical coercion is always wrong, the question is does Bush et. al. have the moral authority and judgment to make the decision to use this type of coercion. The answer is obviously, NO.

    I think that plot is stolen from one of the "Dirty Harry" movies.

    I know for certain that if my child were kidnapped, no matter how distressed I was, I would not begin picking folks off the street at random and trying to torture whatever information I could out of them. I'd end up going through a lot of people and probably doing a lot of damage for which I would probably be held accountable. The same might be true of the Bush administration.
     
  6. Torture is always wrong.

    Amen.
     
  8. And even if it weren't, there has to be a better argument for it than "Hey, it worked for the Gestapo!"
    Poor Ken Burns. He wasted all that time.

    Didn't Alan Dershowitz find the bottom of the barrel long before this?
     
  10. I'd thought so.

    I believe he actually rolled the barrel to one side and dug beneath it here.
