Torture News

Think Progress reports CIA General Counsel Nominee Stands By Torture

Justice Scalia adds to the "What would Jack Bauer do?" debate on torture at a legal conference in Ottawa. He's a Bauer fan. Ugh. I think people have to realize that the ticking time bomb scenario is exceedingly rare and should be treated as the exception and not the rule. The rule should be no torture and if Jack Bauer has to do so because a nuke is about to destroy LA then he should get Presidential approval (as he often does) and the President takes the responsiblity.
