CIA Puts Harsh (Interrogation) Tactics (even for Al Qaeda leaders) On Hold

"Everything's on hold," said a former senior CIA official aware of the agency's decision. "The whole thing has been stopped until we sort out whether we are sure we're on legal ground." A CIA spokesman declined to comment on the issue.
CIA interrogations will continue but without the suspended techniques, which include feigning suffocation, "stress positions," light and noise bombardment, sleep deprivation, and making captives think they are being interrogated by another government.
"Abu Zubaida was shot in the groin during his apprehension in Pakistan. U.S. national security officials have suggested that painkillers were used selectively in the beginning of his captivity until he agreed to cooperate more fully. His information led to the apprehension of other al Qaeda members, including Ramzi Binalshibh, also in Pakistan. The capture of Binalshibh and other al Qaeda leaders -- Omar al-Faruq in Indonesia, Rahim al-Nashiri in Kuwait and Muhammad al Darbi in Yemen -- were all partly the result of information gained during interrogations, according to U.S. intelligence and national security officials. All four remain under CIA control. "

We might as well just surrender to the terrorists. :(
This PC Crap is gonna Kill Us......
This is not good. We can not "handcuff" the CIA. We might as well outsource that sort of work to MI5 or Mossad.
We can always get a plastic ruler and smack them on top of their hands.....ooops, here I go getting rough on them again. That's what the nuns in grade school did to me (okay, I wasn't paying attention, but look how it damaged my way of thinking!) Now if I could only get Sister Cecilia to work on those interrogations....
