Dean of West Point objects to "24"

Feb 15, 2007 13:00

The Dean of West Point has publicly objected to the depiction of torture on the Fox program "24", indicating that students frequently refer to the program as "evidence" that torture is good.

"I'd like them to stop. They should do a show where torture backfires. The kids see it and say, 'If torture is wrong, what about 24?'"

-- Brigadier General Patrick Finnegan, Dean of the United States Military Academy at West Point
