Human rights are expensive, precious and expensive

A movie that was completely attracted to the starring cast. Regarding the torture of prisoners in Guantanamo prison, if it is linked to other movies, such as "Torture Report", this should be a project that the government has spent millions of dollars on. All prison guards’ actions are based on the premise of obtaining information. They are all recorded, which is also the basis for the final disclosure of the truth. So if you just indiscriminately scold the Americans and force a confession, it would be very frivolous. I now often think back to why I did not feel uncomfortable with Jack's behavior when I watched "24 Hours" years ago. Is it definitely uncomfortable now? Because people’s moral standards in the form of war are likely to be lowered a lot, when the military regards anti-terrorism as a war confrontation, many actions will have reasonable excuses in its position, which is why Juan Fu will be reprimanded as a traitor. , Certainly not because those soldiers are anti-justices. According to other movies, a large part of the reason for the suspension of this project is that the information obtained by forced confessions is almost of no value. I think the value of these films is not to prove that the United States does not value human rights, but to make people understand that it is a very expensive undertaking to protect human rights and protect a kind of value. There are many costs. For example, the military may need to spend more. Improve investigative capabilities and precision strikes. For example, the government may have to withstand the pressure of being accused of incompetence or even losing votes. For example, ordinary people may need to sacrifice more sense of security and freedom to defend the rights of others, so those who can do this are rare. Is worthy of being made into a movie.

    Colonel Bill Seidel: I don't want to hear another word about detainee treatment. Your job is to bring charges. Let the judge decide what's admissible.

    Stuart Couch: Sir, I refuse to prosecute this case. As a Christian, as a lawyer...

    Colonel Bill Seidel: [yells] What makes you think you think you're better than the rest of us?

    Stuart Couch: I don't think I'm better than anybody else, that is the point! Now we all took an oath, to support and defend the constitution. At the very least, we are miles away from that.

    Colonel Bill Seidel: [venemously] You're a traitor.

    Stuart Couch: [taken aback] What?
