re: #61 SanFranciscoZionist

My stance on the ‘ticking bomb’ scenario remains the same as it was when Dershowitz was playing with ideas about ‘torture warrants’.

If you have a terrorist, and you KNOW he’s a terrorist, who knows where the bomb that’s about to disintegrate Ohio is, and you KNOW he knows, go ahead and torture his ass. Go to town. You gotta do what you gotta do.

Be prepared to make a damn good argument when you go on trial if you’re wrong.

Do not expect me to sign off on a piece of paper that will give you immunity if maybe you were wrong.

How do you know he knows? How do you know about the bomb?
