"if the Mumbai attacks had happened here, one terrorist was captured during the attacks, the full extent of the attacks was unknown, the attacks were ongoing, and the captured terrorist was unwilling to reveal what he knew?"
The terrorists in Mumbai, like most all the rest, were on a suicide mission. They were'nt just prepared to die for their cause, they were determined to die. What likelihood is there that someone at that mindset is going to give any, much less useful info because they are being tortured?
Terrorist attack thwarting heroes, Jack Bauer, and war heroes are TV and movie fallacies.
Hey bartender over here
Two more shots
And two more beers
Sir turn up the TV sound
The war has started on the ground
Just love those laser guided bombs
They're really great
For righting wrongs
You hit the target
And win the game
From bars 3,000 miles away
