Start popping a kneecap with a .22 and see. (just read a John Sandford novel).

If a report is published in Newsweek, doesn’t that make it a lie? Or is it simply unreliable?

I just got done reading a book about the civil war in Spain during the 1930s. Torture was used on Communist spies and nationalist rolled up their entire spying and guerrilla network that way. Torture works.

The good news is that there is substantial research on viable alternatives that do not rely on coercion but instead on rapport building, says Maria Hartwig, a psychology professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice at the City University of New York, who has contributed to a number of HIG-funded projects. Just so I get this right.... Professor Maria Hartwig thinks she can get information from a terrorist that is willing to strap a bomb on his kid, himself or his wife to blow up innocent people because his god wills it just by being nice? Really???? I would love to see that in action.

And there are methods to ensure that when they talk they are telling the truth.

I tried to listen to a Hillary speech. I really tried. After three minutes, I would have confessed to being in league with Osama bin Laden, Barack Hussein Obama, and Ayman al-Zawahiri, just to make it stop.

These people want to kill us indiscriminately and liberals are worried about dunking their heads underwater, something that happens at community pools everyday.

This is something left over from April Fool’s Day - right???

What percent of time does it work? Anything above zero might be worth it.

Horsesh*t! Torture wouldn’t have been around for thousands of years if these morons were right. Torture works regardless of what “science” with liberal government grants says.

Psh. Don't waste the ammo. Use a hammer.
Even better, just the mere THREAT should be good enough.

Of course there are. The men asking the questions are not empty headed dullards getting their jollies.

I guess that’s why torture has been employed successfully for literally thousands of years. If it didn’t work nobody would do it. If you could get people to talk by buying them donuts then governments would have the best donuts.
To: Cyberman
Regardless if we should do this stuff or not, I’m not sure any of that stuff is really torture. Folks have volunteered for waterboarding and sleep deprivation. Nobody in the history of the world ever volunteered to test out the new model thumbscrews or iron boots.
