this evening was the premier of The CLoser" a show devoted
to the inner workings of an Interrogator, along the lines of CSI
and all the other new law and order shows. I missed it, but my
husband watched it and liked it. I just caught a trailer for it,
and it struck me that maybe this is a way of softening the public
to the techniques used in interrogations. Will they slowly add
"new techniques" with each episode, until they match those which we
currently consider to be torture and inhumane? Will they show it as
getting results (of course). Do they expect the public to become
inured to torture by adding it as a regular (sanitized) tv version.
Another step down that long road.
Shall we expect to see an SAIC or Blackwater ad during upcoming episodes?
