When I read your heading I though maybe you were pitching an idea for the next Jason Bourne movie. I didn’t think it would fly, though. Couldn’t I just threaten him with a blow job and hope it scares him into talking? Seriously (if that is possible with this topic), you are quite right that both questions are unfair because both force a person to consider doing something repugnant to them, violating something basic about themselves in the process, in order to save lives. You have two competing values and you must choose which one you place more value on. As for the first question, the use of torture, well if it was an emergency situation (the bomb is going to go off in thirty minutes), I have to admit that I could probably over come my moral discomfort and start breaking bones (the real results will come when you start grinding the broken ends of the bones together). It all comes down to this: which will be harder to live with? The guilt of having tortured one person, or the guilt of letting thousands of people die (and leaving thousands more in grief)? I’d have to choose the former. In anything other than that highly unlikely situation however, I have no use for torture. As for the second question – EEEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!! Really. This one is difficult. I mean, breaking a guys fingers is one thing but polishing his sword of Allah? Gross man, really gross (to all my gay friends out there in CM land, no disrespect intended – this is just me). I don’t think I could do it man, I really don’t.... ...but I can’t stop thinking about those thousands of people, and wether I can live with myself or not. Okay then. I’ll close my eyes and think of America (somebody cue Lee Greenwood’s Proud to be an American). I am attaching two conditions however. First, the press doesn’t hear a word of this! BURN THE "INTERROGATION" TAPES! Second, I expect to be well compensated. I am an American, after all – I want money. A lot of money. Tax free. Pass that mouthwash please, Heretic. One last thought. I’ve always wondered something about the 72 virgins promised to Muslim martyrs. When they are finished with the 72 virgins do they get a fresh set of virgins? Or do the original virgins have to remain virginal for eternity? If it’s the latter, I got to tell you, that’s not my idea of paradise.
