1. This is brutal and brilliant.
It tears about the one big argument that people always seem to use to justify torture. If torture isn't quick and doesn't get the answer to where that hidden bomb is then there is never any possible justification for using it.

3. A DUer summed it up nicely several weeks ago...
If you ever run across someone who justifies torture using the "ticking timebomb" argument, ask that person, "Would you give a blowjob to stop a ticking timebomb?" See what the answer is then...
