The Fallacy of the 'Ticking Bomb'

Even though I already explained why torture was bad in a very short essay, just tonight I heard another politician use the fallacious reason of a "ticking bomb" as justification for torture.

Maybe this politician has not being paying attention. I will explain it in one sentence.

TERRORISTS ARE PREPARED TO DIE, THEY KILL THEMSELVES ALONG WITH US!

But these politicians, and others, continue to overlook the fact that if there really is a ticking bomb, all the terrorist has to do is endure enough torture from you until the bomb goes off!

So please quit acting like torture is a door that needs to be left open!
