While we
have had years of discourse on the subject of torture as a means of obtaining
information from reluctant spies, terrorists and other pond scum, Jack Bauer
clearly answered the question last night, torture works.
Had not
the distraught President and the cynical senator been convinced that Jack would
not be able to get exactly what he needed to know from the Senator’s staffer
through violent treatment, the White
House would have remained intact on last night’s episode of 24. The staffer was about to give crucial intelligence
on the location of the attack when security blew down the doors where Bauer was
interrogating him quite successfully with a stun gun.
Last
summer at the DNC, street theater by
Jason Mattera demonstrated that there are people gullible enough to believe
that detainees at Guantanamo have rights and deserve every convenience afforded
to them be it cable TV or work out
equipment . After some detainees were
released from Guantanamo under the new Obama administration, at least one was
accused of committing acts of subversion.
Thanks President Obama for giving them the benefit of the doubt.
What
liberals don’t get is that terrorists are just that, terrorists. They have the
bare minimum as far as rights are concerned. Getting a trip to Guantanamo is not some
prestigious honor, it is a sign of certain suspicion. The truth is discovered not through talking
by a candlelight dinner as our newbie president would like to think, but
through rigorous torture and interrogation.
That is the only way valuable information is ever obtained.
