re: #290 HappyWarrior

That’s part of what I figured. A lot of the conservatives I knew at the time were like TORTURE JACK BAUER 24. And then it hit me that as you point out that they were using their rationale from a TV show. You know what really did it for me though? It was and this is really interesting given how pathetic of a panderer he’s become but McCain. Well McCain and a NYT Op-ed by a recent West Point graduate serving in Afghanistan.

24 is torture porn, simple as that. There’s never any question that the guy Bauer is torturing is “bad,” because the writers go out of their way to show that the guy getting his teeth drilled out is the kinda guy who gets off on stomping puppies and firebombing orphanages.
