Reminds me of the story from the French revolution. The mob had captured a nobleman of high rank, and were trying to get information from him about where other nobles were hiding. They tried torture, threats, even threatened his family, but he showed great bravery and refused to talk. Finally, they strapped him to the guillotine and just as the executioner pulled the handle, he yelled "Wait! Wait! I'll tell you everything!". THWACK! Too late! The moral of this story: Never hachet your counts before they chicken!
