i especially liked when, a few seasons ago, they needed information from a terrorist that wouldn't speak.
so what they did was send special forces in to capture and tie up his family; wife and two boys.
then, via video they showed this to the terrorist in real time.
he was like, "you wouldn't kill my boy!"
jack says, "try me."
terrorist, "you wouldn't dare!"
jack gave the word and they executed his son in a live feed.
the terrorist started shitting his pants and told them everything they wanted to know.
later, it turned out that they had videotaped the execution scene and it was not real.
