Prepare to be horrified: America's most elite military academy has invited Kiefer Sutherland to come and speak against torture, as some of students were becoming oddly supportive of the brutal methodology of Sutherland's 24 protagonist, Jack Bauer.

…the Army is asking Kiefer Sutherland to explain to West Point cadets why they shouldn't imitate the Fox show's torture-happy protagonist…The Army is hoping Sutherland will have better luck than West Point professors, whose in-class attempts to explain that "Jack Bauer is a criminal" have yet to resonate…
…students were particularly impressed by a scene in which Bauer barges into a room where a stubborn suspect is being held, shoots him in one leg, and threatens to shoot the other if he doesn’t talk. In less than ten seconds, the suspect reveals that his associates plan to assassinate the Secretary of Defense.

This follows news that some American interrogators around the world have begun taking cues from the show for use in real prisons:

Human Rights First recently brought a West Point commander and retired military interrogators to Hollywood for meetings with producers of "24" and ABC's "Lost" to talk about their concerns about life imitating art.

One man in the meeting was Tony Lagouranis, a former U.S. Army specialist who questioned prisoners in Baghdad's infamous Abu Ghraib prison and several other facilities around Iraq. He said he saw instances of mock executions like that in "24." Once, some fellow interrogators asked an Iraqi translator to pretend he was being tortured to strike fear in a prisoner, after they had just watched a similar scene on a DVD.

This begs the question: what the hell does Kiefer Sutherland know about military tactics that he hasn't learned from his TV show? They're asking a person who plays a character to come and speak about this instead of the dozens of great military minds that already populate the campus?

Regardless, other major educational institutions have started to follow West Point's lead. Johns Hopkins Medical School just invited Patrick Dempsey to explain that emotionally relevant theme music won't spasmodically play to enhance the drama of deaths. And second years at Stanford Law were shocked when Sam Waterston broke the news that, in the real world, his brazen pursuit of justice is called "disobedience" and "contempt."
