Kiefer Sutherland on the Charlie Rose Show - Jan 12, 2007
Topic: TV 7:27 pm EST, Feb 14, 2007

I've posted this not because it's a must-see, but because it was mentioned in a recent article in The New Yorker.

Segment 1: Actor Kiefer Sutherland talks about the new season of "24".

Skip to 4:00 to get things underway; the comments referenced below start around 22:00. The segment ends around 36:40.

From the magazine article:

Sutherland declined to answer questions for this article, but, in a recent television interview with Charlie Rose, his ambivalence about his character’s methods was palpable. He condemned the abuse of U.S.-held detainees at Abu Ghraib prison, in Iraq, as “absolutely criminal,” particularly for a country that tells others that “democracy and freedom” are the “way to go.” He also said, “You can torture someone and they’ll basically tell you exactly what you want to hear. . . . Torture is not a way of procuring information.” But things operate differently, he said, on television: “24,” he said, is “a fantastical show. . . . Torture is a dramatic device.”
