Using torture, Devereaux's men kill Husseini in the course of the interrogation. Afterward, Bridger tells Hubbard that Husseini knew nothing of value because of the principle of compartmentalized information and, sickened, she finally tells Hubbard what she knows.

I happen to come from the school that thinks that movies should not only make you uncomfortable, they might make you think. I have a friend who says, if you've not offended somebody, you're a nobody.
