Mancow, unlike the terrorists, had nothing to hide.

Clearly if you still think that this is not an effective way to extract information from terrorist you miss one of the last things he said before he went off to get checked out by the medics.

So do it enough times and I bet the info gets pretty accurate but if your a good interogator/torturer specialist you will know when the truth comes out.

Exactly admitting to anything and everything..

This all seems like new techniques that only the monster we affectionately call Cheney could possible dream up but I been thinking the intelligence community has been working and perfecting all these little puzzle peices for years and years, and there is a huge chance that they don't just rely solely on the "Waterboarding" technique although I still think its brilliant.

General David Petraeus said this past weekend that President Obama's decision to close down Gitmo and end harsh interrogation techniques would benefit the United States in the broader war on terror.

I think, on balance, that those moves help [us]," said the chief of U.S. Central Command. "In fact, I have long been on record as having testified and also in helping write doctrine for interrogation techniques that are completely in line with the Geneva Convention. And as a division commander in Iraq in the early days, we put out guidance very early on to make sure that our soldiers, in fact, knew that we needed to stay within those guidelines.

Exactly admitting to anything and everything.. So do it enough times and I bet the info gets pretty accurate but if your a good interogator/torturer specialist you will know when the truth comes out.

Interogations work, I suppose you people have never watched one of those cop shows.

A survey conducted by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life found that white evangelical Christians are more likely to support torture than people who rarely or never attend religious services.

The survey said that 62 percent of white evangelical Protestants say that the use of torture against suspected terrorists can be often or sometimes justified in order to gain important information.

When asked the same question, 40 percent of the "religiously unaffiliated" say torture can be often or sometimes justified. The survey, however, did not define torture or say whether "enhanced interrogation techniques" like waterboarding are torture.

Apparently when asked what would Jesus do?

In the situation where waterboarding was used the people who were waterboarded were already known terrorists.

Rep. Don Manzullo apparently disagrees with his GOP colleague John Shimkus on the issue of "enhanced interrogations," according to the comments he made an interview with WGN Radio's John Williams this morning. Listen to this particular exchange, in which the Rockford Republican acknowledges -- after Williams recounted the case of Abu Zubaydah -- that "apparently waterboarding doesn't work"

I am sure I read something about an eye for and eye in the bible.

If you want proof that the interogation worked then find out how many lethal attacks by terrorists happened after 911.

Clinton was a key factor in the fact that the intelligence communities were blocked from sharing valuble intelligence between agencies...........

That really turned out to be an OOOOPS.

The declassified intelligence report said the FBI had detected "patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings."

The memo, titled "Bin Laden determined to attack inside the U.S.," had been described by the White House as a largely historical document with scant information about domestic al Qaeda threats.

bin Laden wanted to hijack a U.S. aircraft to secure the release of 'Blind Sheikh' Omar Abdel Rahman and other U.S.-held extremists," the memo says in part.

The memo includes intelligence on al Qaeda threats as recent as three months before the attacks.

Highlights of the report include:

• An intelligence report received in May 2001 indicating that al Qaeda was trying to send operatives to the United States through Canada to carry out an attack using explosives. That information had been passed on to intelligence and law enforcement agencies.

• An allegation that al Qaeda had been considering ways to hijack American planes to win the release of operatives who had been arrested in 1998 and 1999.

• An allegation that bin Laden was set on striking the United States as early as 1997 and through early 2001.

• Intelligence suggesting that suspected al Qaeda operatives were traveling to and from the United States, were U.S. citizens, and may have had a support network in the country.

• A report that at least 70 FBI investigations were under way in 2001 regarding possible al Qaeda cells/terrorist-related operations in the United States.
