Rewrite!Liz Cheney:
“Mr. President, in a ticking time-bomb scenario, with American lives at stake, are you really unwilling to subject a terrorist to enhanced interrogation to get information that would prevent an attack?”
Should have been:
“Mr. President, in a ticking time-bomb scenario, with American lives at stake, are you really unwilling to give a terrorist a green felt top hat to get information that would prevent an attack?”

Just as reasonable a scenario. A greater personal sacrifice, perhaps. But somehow lacking that certain Jack Bauer "something."
