re: #7 Obdicut

Every single intelligence officer I have ever read the opinion of, is that it is better to break prisoners through co-option and other means, rather than torture.

I have not seen any of them say that torture produces results other methods couldn’t.

I’m sure it’s not the preferred method but some subjects are going to be tougher than others. They are pretty methodical about how interrogations are handled. It’s important to remember that the interrogators requested the enhanced procedures because they thought it was the best way to get him to talk. They didn’t do it to be mean. Bush approved the request but he didn’t order it.
