In the last analysis, this is one of the many cases where politicians (who want to be seen Doing Something whether it works or not) overrule the trained professionals (who are guided by reality).

Terror on the other hand has been shown to be very effective.

the procedure does not elicit reliable information. It does, on the other hand, generate false confessions.... A person under torture will say anything. "Anything" includes the truth.
That's why a good interrogator never bothers to ask a question whose answer he cannot verify.

Science doesn’t understand psychology. Torture works great when properly applied. The hazing nonsense the public knows about isn’t torture.

... the procedure does not elicit reliable information. It does, on the other hand, generate false confessions...as someone pointed out quite correctly recently, when you torture terrorists you're not looking for confessions, you're looking for information - any kind of information - which can be expanded upon and verified or not - under the right circumstances virtually anybody will give up potentially useful info.....

Nothing listed in the article is torture. I have seen torture and it was effective and saved lives.
To: Cyberman
Not a big surprise. Military interrogaters have know for years that torture is unreliable. Unfortunately, you had a group of people in charge who did now want to listen to their own experts.

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.

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.
