Interrogation

"This report by our top expert says our interrogation techniques are not reliable because the subject end up saying whatever we want to hear."

"Let me have a chat with that expert for a couple hours."

Cultural sensitivity

"Don't worry, my friend! Yes, I know what you have gone through. I know you have been unjustly accused, flogged and publicly humiliated... But you can rest assured that at least I will respect your autonomy and not impose values on you that are alien to your culture, like, say, presumption of innocence and protection against torture."

"Uuh..."

"No, you don't need to thank me. I would do this for anyone."

Suppose

"Suppose there's a ticking bomb hidden in a hospital and one of the bombers is in police custody. Wouldn't torture be justified to make him reveal the location of the device and save innocent lives?"

"Suppose the bombers say they will remotely defuse the bomb if you are tortured."

"Now you are bringing absurd suppositions."
