What makes you think so.
You would never be sure till you try.. Right.
To be clear I was not talking about asking every second afgan where OBL is.
It was more like asking OBL .

I stand for my children and would not give them up. That doesn't mean I would choose to deliberately harm someone when there are other alternatives.

Torture doesn't work so why consider it when taking that route makes you no better than the terrorist you want to harm.

Actually torture works and is used in cases where time is critical.

That's sour sauce TarJak, it's not an answer, it's a poor excuse.

But look on the bright side, maybe next time you'll get it right :)

That's interesting considering the lack of acceptance of that opinion by many intelligence services. And experts in the field:

United States Army field manual, explains that torture "is a poor technique that yields unreliable results, may damage subsequent collection efforts, and can induce the source to say what he thinks the interrogator wants to hear."[4] Not only is torture ineffective at gathering reliable information, but it also increases the difficulty of gathering information from a source in the future.

Therein lies the problem. If people select an action without exploring the alternatives they usually end up looking silly.

Well.. When time is not an issue there may be other better way of extracting information.
More reliable…
In cases where time is critical you take chances.. see not all is black and wihite.
I'm quite sure mr Obama is somehow spinning the issue since it is political matter in USA.

But the "ticking time bomb" situation is a myth in real life and only exists in the minds of Hollywood scriptwriters.

Show us a real life case where this has actually happened.

MH	08-07-14 06:16 AM

No it is not myth.
There is legislation here regarding this.
In USA it may be matter of hollywood.

Real life examples please.

Laws can be based on theoretical situations.

I can't help you with specific examples but I think there should be some old material.
This used to be hot potato here as well when suicide bombers roamed back in 2000.

So you have no actual evidence that these situations exist and where torture actually helped in one of these situations?
