What would you have done if you knew some 9/11 type terrorists?

If you found out that someone you knew was involved in a plot to commit a major terrorist attack, what would you be willing to do to prevent it? Whatever you wouldn't do to get the person to tell all, that is the thing you consider too distasteful to do to prevent the murder of thousands of people.

Just being a average citizen i would turn it over to the authorities if i found out something like that, and i would hope that they would use whatever methods they could to get the information out of that person to stop it.

Well, I certainly wouldn't blow second-hand smoke in their faces as these dastardly CIA interrogators did. http://www.myheadlines.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=MyHeadlines&file=index5&sid=1467&cid=1149897&source=Drudge%20Report Honestly, I don't know what I would do and what I wouldn't do would be dictated by my own personal squeamishness. But luckily for me there are CIA interrogators who will threaten but NOT attack the prisoner with a power drill, wave unloaded weapons at them, cause them to be sleep-deprived,make them eat without utensils and blow second-hand smoke at them. I don't think torture is something I could administrate. I don't feel comfortable condoning it. But there has to be someone who can get the information because once someone has committed themselves to the murder of innocents, their lives must be forfeit, right? Doesn't the law require that?
