Re:Alias to Lost to Cloverfield to Star Trek (Score 1)

You have GOT to be kidding with that! The fact that you ask that question is exactly why those of us working to stop torture are campaigning against the depiction of torture as in shows like Alias and "24". In the REAL world, it does not work like that. Torture does not work, and there are no ticking time bomb scenarios. I recommend you look into it a little bit more. There are useful links on the web site. Or perhaps you can just watch a different movie - have you seen Rendition? You might also research the term "blowback" because the reality is that by committing acts of torture and other human rights violations (or working with those who do) the US puts itself and its population in greater danger from the response. I am sure you heard of Osama Bin Laden, right? You probably also heard about who his supporters were in the way in Afghanistan....
