The message of the TV series, that torturers can retain their human
dignity if the cause is right, is a profound lie

On Sunday, the fifth season of the phenomenally successful television
drama 24 will start in the US. Each season is composed of 24 one-hour
episodes and the whole season covers the events of a single day. The
story of the latest series is the desperate attempt of the LA-based
Counter Terrorist Unit to prevent an act of catastrophic magnitude and
the action focuses on the unit's agents, the White House and the
terrorist suspects.
