Ticking time bomb

Here's a link to a piece which discusses, among other things, a case which it's very hard to argue is not a ticking time-bomb.  Granted, nothing was about to blow up, but the Deputy Police Chief in question had every reason to believe he had a very limited time to act in order to save a life.
Hours of interrogation failed.
The threat of torture got answers within a few seconds.
Discuss.
