That's actually 2974 reasons to increase spending to law enforcement, since its cops that really stop the terrorists, not soldiers and torturers. That was a nod toward switching away from bullshit wars and turn to good, solid police work instead.

Despite the memos from compromised officials that said torture works, the actual statistics show that all useful information was gained from prisoners before they were tortured, not after. 24 is just a work of fiction; torture has never produced any useful information in the so-called "Ticking Timebomb" scenario in reality.

Torture is nothing but barbarism.
