I mean, if the ticking time bomb scenario is the justification for using torture, then it needs to work on the first - not the 183rd - time.

1.  Good point..
I doubt the newsies are mentioning that. Or the people that died. I hope the detainee's and their families will be able to sue the shit out of the Bush Cabal. Take them for every dime they stole.
