From my reading of Sam Harris, I understand he is speculating about that ethical question. He's not advocating that we kill in that instance, any more than I am by writing it above.

Angela, I don't know if you read my edit above, so I'll re-post it:
Quote:
Angela, Mr. Harris may not have made "recommendations" but he FLOATED THE IDEA.
The idea of torture was floated years before it became part of the American vernacular as it is now. I was hooted down at the time for pointing out that the idea of torture was being floated, preparatory to normalizing it. Everyone was sure America--our wonderful country--would never advocate torture.
