Musings on Torture and the Saving of Lives
I was interested in Lisa LaPlante’s post on torture. It came hard upon my attendance at a conference on Christian Realism in which the matter of hard choices got quite the attention. My comment got so long that I’ve decided to make it a post. I offer it here in the interest of stirring up some controversy to wake us from the haze of our tryptophan coma.
Lisa, commenting on the recent film Men Who Stare At Goats, asks if we are Cassidy or Hooper? I haven’t seen the movie, but the question strikes me as too simple. We are both and perhaps we should be.
