Michelle, Greenport, NY ”

Hand him in for the reward then flog my story to every paper and tv station that I can. Sod the family, I’ll have billions.

Um, ring them and tell them to go somewhere else..?

Oh - they were meant to have been kidnapped - I get it now..

do the words X Factor or
Strictly Come Dancing
ring any bells???? Huh?
so you wouldn’t pull the fingernails out of Simon Cowell or dearest Dannii given half a chance ?? thought so.

Apparently, he’s a lovely guy. I’m sure he’d oblige.

Let’s say you’ve caught a suspect and you’re sure he’s a terrorist, and you’re sure there’s a nuclear bomb somewhere in Manhattan, and you’re sure he knows where it is, and you’re sure this particular terrorist has been trained to resist torture just long enough that you could never get the true location of the bomb out of him in time.

‘But you’re also sure this particular terrorist is a pervert! And he tells you that if you’ll rape your own child in front of him, he’ll tell you exactly where the bomb is and how to disarm it.

‘And you’re sure that he will, because your intelligence is that good in exactly that way.” [LOL! If you’ll pardon the expression]

‘Wow! Fascinating hypothetical, huh? And it’s only slightly more far-fetched than the more familiar ticking time bomb scenario, in which you must torture the suspect to save all those innocent people. Both versions have to be laid out awfully precisely.

…

Here’s another poser: Suppose you’re an innocent suspect whom your captors are convinced is a terrorist. They don’t believe your protestations, so they decide to torture you into a confession. The more you protest your innocence, the more frustrated they get that you won’t “crack.” What do you say to get them to stop? How do you get them not to decide they need to hurt you even more?
