You are an intelligence officer for the Navy. You are traveling in Iraq when your convoy is attacked. Everyone in your convoy is killed, but you remain. You are taken to an underground cell, with no hope of anyone finding you or hearing your screams.
Your captor explains that you are going to experience lots of pain, and if cooperation is given the pain can be less. This is explained as you are strapped to a small metal chair, placed in an empty room with only a table before you, a chalk board, and a video camera pointed at you.
The captor begins talking about the war and how sad it is so many innocents are dying, and how the American public would never stand for this in their country. He begins taping photos on the chalkboard of 2 children who have been crushed in a building, suffering massive bone breaking and then died. You guess they are aged under 10 years old. You are asked if you recognize the photos, and as you say no, the captor says it is his children. You are allowed to sit overnight, knowing that your fate is grim.
The next day, you are awaken, to the site of a small boy in front of you, and the captor speaking in English so the child won't understand. He explains that he is going to kill the boy, by breaking his bones. He explains the American people will watch, and see up close what it is like to lose a child in such a cold way. You are then offered a choice. If you give the address of your wife and child or children and allow them to be killed by your captors counterpart, and allow that killing to be recorded as well, he will not kill the child in front of you.
You also have to plead to the camera for your captor to please kill your family to save this Iraqi child. You decide to give a fake address to buy some time and your captor quickly finds this out and he kills the kid before you as you pass out. Upon awaking, you now have a little girl in front of you.
So, what do you do? What would you expect the American public would want you to do?
