re: #57 Charles

Sorry, but I will never believe it’s a good idea to authorize government agents to threaten anyone’s children. Terrorist or not. It’s simply wrong.

Some of you people who support that are also the ones who criticize Obama for wanting to give the government too much power. Why would you trust that same government to have free agents with the authority to threaten children?

The CIA/FBI should have the authority to threaten anything they want during a terrorist interrogation. They should be allowed to then try to convince the subject that the threats are real, using any kind of deception they can muster.

The authority to actually carry threats through should lie elsewhere.

Why does anyone have problems with empty threats?
