B . . . B . . . But What If He Planted A Nuclear Device???

I've held back talking about the idiotic "24" talking point about how torture is justified if the captured terrorist has planted a nuke somewhere and you have to find out where before it goes off. This story is a lot of the reason why, the tale of the guy who was tortured into "confessing" links between Sadaam and Al Qaeda. Look where that got us. Other bloggers have gone into great intellectual lengths to debunk the argument, thereby legitimizing it. Let me be crude. It's pure BS. The guy is a suicidal crazy. If he did it alone, he's a suicidal crazy who's going to tell you the truth??? If he worked with others and is suddenly captured, they're going to leave the bomb where it is??? People, read Sartre's "The Wall," for God's sake. This isn't worth two breaths. The people who use the argument are declaring themselves morons. Pull up your balls and use those words in even tones and a condescending smirk. You'll save yourself a lot of time for better things in life.
