which_chickThere's a nice ends-vs-means discussion over at Halfway down the Danube regarding police actions during a kidnapping case in Germany. If you like moral dilemma stuff and aren't adverse to using real-life examples for discussion, you might go take a look.
Personally, I wonder why on earth so many interesting things come out of Germany... and this without even discussing their porn. I'm sure you all recall that Germany was the country who brought us the kill-cook-and-eat-someone-with-permission case. Is that murder? Can the guy actually give consent? Where is the line between sick fantasy and totally librarian-poo? Oh, it was delighful on several fronts... and now we have "Is it okay to threaten to torture a kidnapper for information on the kidnappee?" The fun just never stops over there in Germany. What a country!
