Torture as most people understand it--physical pain--does not produce accurate information.

Psychological torture (drugs, hot-cold, water, no sleep, etc.) is highly effective and, for the subject, not permanently harmful nor particularly painful...merely damned annoying.

I'm envisioning something ala Clockwork Orange. Saddam strapped to a chair with his eyelids propped open and being forced to watch an endless loop of The Bachelor.

I agree. Besides of which I think Saddam is going to snap real easy.

Stick him in a room with Hitlery for a few hours, and make him read ALL OF HER BOOKS!

That should do it, although you'd better make sure that the International Red Cross doesn't find out... That's got to be against the Geneva Convention!

Now THAT just might be the way to go...
