24 & Torture

The Register just ran an article on how 24 is perceived as fake based on how fast people give up information in a torture situation.  Apparently, in a real torture situation, the criminals often hold out for days, weeks or even months.  They also give wrong information simply to stop the pain. Really, 24, fictitious, no kidding? As an avid 24 junkie, I'm always amazed at how well people hold up under a torture situation.  Perhaps this is something that terrorists learn at terrorist training camp (after the monkey bars, but before the AK's). Clearly, I'm not cut out to be a terrorist or a CTU agent.  Simply turning the air conditioning off during a hot day and I'll crack.
