United States common law employs the concept of “marital paternity presumption,” which holds that if a child is conceived within a marriage, it is…

This will obviously contribute to unreliability in the data because there are fewer total sources, so it is extremely difficult to verify stories.

In the opening scenes of Zero Dark Thirty, you watch as an al-Qaeda affiliate writhes, kicks, and attempts to scream while he is water boarded. You watch as the detainee is kept awake for 96 hours; is placed into a tiny, cramped box; and is forced to wear a dog collar as he is walked around a windowless room like a Golden Retriever (Zero Dark Thirty). You watch this from the comfort of your couch, enjoying a bowl of popcorn and a glass of wine, and you squirm each time a bucket of water is…
