Message | The torture of suspects can only be allowed in the gravest of emergencies where the information is vital for either the national security or the public safety. This option is balanced enough to ensure the force used is neither too heavy nor too light-handed. |

Message | Phhh, our nations security is far more important than the rights of a few cowardly leftists. |
