Can we start a petition to get Fox to put a disclaimer on 24? (24 is a fictional tv show)
I am so sick of having to remind the "pro torture" people that 24 is a tv show and is not real.

from a pro-torture person:
"If people had kidnapped your child, mother, or loved one and was threatening to kill them in a certain amount of time. What would YOU do to get them back safely. Just a thought for those that weep for tortured terrorist and forget the evil they perpetuate."

When has this situation EVER HAPPENED TO ANYONE YOU KNOW?

my reply:
"Army Field Manual 34-52 Chapter 1
The use of force, mental torture, threats, insults, or exposure to unpleasant and inhumane treatment of any kind is prohibited by law and is neither authorized nor condoned by the US Government. Experience indicates that the use of force is not necessary to gain the cooperation of sources for... Read More interrogation. Therefore, the use of force is a poor technique, as it yields unreliable results, may damage subsequent collection efforts, and can induce the source to say whatever he thinks the interrogator wants to hear." http://www.loc.gov/rr/frd/Military_Law/pdf/intel_interrogation_may-1987.pdf Page 6.

2. I'd certainly sign it.
We have too many stupid people in this country who believe 24 is a model for interrogations.
