    Who ever leaked this only caused "harm" to the box office take by letting people know just how bad this movie sucked.

    "If they torture the guy in order to obtain the information, the next day that bastard will make a public scandal, cry his human rights were violated etc, and his lawyers will invoke every conceiveable law and the process will stall, badly.
    Then his lawyers will spread doubt about any other evidence previously collected. They will make a party out of it and, in the end, the guy may be considered innocent."

    wow. just wow. what part of the word do you live in? Is it really done like that there?
    Here, in my part of the world (Wisconsin, USA, northern hemisphere) they will torture you for the information, deny you access to counsel, threaten your family and brand you an "enemy of the state" or a "terrorist" and send you to a prison where you voice will not be heard and your opinions will not matter.
    I feel no animosity toward the people of South America. Many bright, gifted and beautiful people have come from that part of the world. I just find it hard to believe that after the government tortures you that they are going to let you invoke any laws on your side. I think that the CIA has taught them different.

    right, those naughty civilians. how dare they walk down the street, in their home country, with out alerting the United States Military.
    We could issue them some kind of banner or a flag or maybe a PATCH that we can sew onto their clothes. It would identify them as "good guys"
    the "bad guys" would never imitate that. If they did we would just have to kill a few more "civilians".
    If your harried soldier is so afraid of being hurt by a person who CAN'T EVEN SEE HIM, maybe he should have stayed home?
    A person MURDERED from long range while trying to rescue another victim is not complicit in any way.
