I read the book "Torture: a Collection" which has Dershowitz's argument for torture warrents in it. The problem that I had was why if we knew everything why did we not know where the bomb was located. The ticking bomb question was one that did not make sense with my experience in intellegence. At the time I almost bought into the logic, but something still nagged at me, it just did not make sense. This book takes the ticking bomb analogy apart and examines it word by word and piece by piece to determine the logic and reasoning. Dershowitz is the most well known of the proponents of this argument, so he is going to have to deal with the burden of carring the majority of the criticism due to his not0riedty. I have to say that wether you agree with torture under certain conditions, or you believe that torture is not justifiable under any condition, this book is a must read to completely understand what the logic of the ticking bomb scenereo is. There is no other work out there that I have seen that equals this book in its analysis.
