CBS’s FBI Most Wanted pushes another liberal idea, that torture of terrorists doesn’t work. In this case, the torture only generated more hatred of Americans (Season 5, Episode 2, February 20, 2024).

If terrorists believe they risk torture, does that cause some to consider not to engage in terrorism?
