TOPICS:

Round 2: This House would rather be a big loser than a small winner.

Round 3: (Case) A hijacker is holding a jetliner and 192 passengers hostage until his demands are met. He is demanding $500,000 and a guarantee of safe passage to a country that will not return him for prosecution. The police agree to his demands, and he releases the hostages. Only the hijacker and the flight crew remain on the plane. Many of the released hostages say the hijacker treated them well, and while scared, they never felt threatened. Shortly before the plane takes off, the police storm the plane. Using tear gas and rubber bullets, the police capture the hijacker. In the process the hijacker is wounded as well as a member of the flight crew.

In this case, the Government team must support the statement: The actions of the police were morally justified.

Bronze: This house would retain the option to torture.

Gold: This house would repair the church/state wall.
