Well, the only problem is that easily turns into “I’ll tell you anything you want to hear.” Most of these Al Qaeda soldiers should have simply "died in combat".
Exactly. I’d probably confess to being one of the shooters on the grassy knoll or just about any other lie, as apparently would Mancow or Hitchens, after being waterboarded. Again, why are so many otherwise sensible conservatives so willing to give this incredible power to Obama and his ilk? After all, these folks think that members of this site are “terrorists”
Of course. The interrogators usually already know a part of the information the terrorist/combatant is withholding. What to do if their story doesn't check out? Commence waterboarding. Pretty simple.
