\Now the Gloves Come Off\: The Problematic of \Enhanced Interrogation Techniques\ in \Battlestar Galactica\
2011
Overview
\"11 In May 2004, Donald Rumsfeld, commenting on the abuses uncovered at Abu Ghraib, undermined the seriousness of prisoner treatment: \"My impression is what has been charged thus far is abuse, which I believe technically is different from torture . . . and therefore I'm not going to address the 'torture' word. Later, over a whiskey, Adama (Edward James Olmos), the ship's commander, tells Roslin, [T]hat's a helluva risk you took today, care to tell me why? She replies, The interesting thing about being president is that you don't have to explain yourself to anyone, a sobering reminder that in times of war, laws can be reinterpreted.21 It's a prophetic conclusion to the episode, for in 2006 President George W. Bush signed a bill outlawing the torture of detainees in which he included a 'signing statement,' declaring that he would view the interrogation limits in the broader context of his broader powers to protect national security . . . [and] an official cited as an example a 'ticking bomb scenario' in which a detainee is believed to have information that could prevent a planned terrorist attack.
