&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Apparently, Kiefer Sutherland as &amp;quot;Agent Jack Bauer&amp;quot; knows better than a large collection of top military brass, statesmen, humanitarian leaders, philosophers,  law-makers, and statesmen who, throughout history, have steadfastly rebuked and indicted the practice of torture, first as ineffective, and second as a crime against humanity.  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Nonetheless, Sutherland makes his case in the &amp;quot;&lt;strong&gt;24,&amp;quot; &lt;/strong&gt;that torture is more than just &amp;quot;A-O-K&amp;quot; for good guys too...  forever tainting his legacy with a performance that is nothing less than complicit in an effort to justify disgusting and inhumane treatment of potentially innocent human beings. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
