Alan Dershowitz Totally Explained

Everything about Alan Dershowitz totally explained

The "ticking time bomb scenario" is subject of the drama The Dershowitz Protocol by Canadian author Robert Fothergill. In that play, the American government has established a protocol of "intensified interrogation" for terrorist suspects which requires participation of the FBI, CIA and the Department of Justice. The drama deals with the psychological pressure and the tense triangle of competences under the overriding importance that each participant has to negotiate the actions with his conscience. The play is directly linked to the debate caused by Dershowitz' article.

Speaking Out after Governor Elliot Spitzer's Alleged Use of a Prostitute Professor Dershowitz spoke on the television news regarding New York Governor Elliot Spitzer's alleged use of a prostitute, saying on CNN that reaction to the charges was "overblown" and that he saw no reason for Governor Spitzer to resign. On MSNBC, Dershowitz said, "You know, big deal ... In Europe this wouldn't even make the back pages of the newspaper." Spitzer previously served as a research assistant to Dershowitz.
Dershowitz suggested that any alleged offense by Spitzer would be only a "minor misdemeanor." CNN noted that Spitzer had been accused of transporting a woman across state lines for the purposes of prostitution, a felony punishable by ten years in federal prison under the Mann Act.
