Um - torture does very little to obtain accurate intel. Drugs, sure. Trickery, sure. But anyone who knows anything about human response to pain knows that people will say or do just about anything to stop it. And if that means making stuff up, they make stuff up.

But if it was proved they made it up, there is more torture coming.

Anyway, this wasn't torture. It was hazing.

As a response to my post, that adds nothing. Some methods are highly effective that some would call torture. These are discussed on NPR without regard to their effectiveness, only as a holier-than-thou bludgeoning of the US military and its civilian leaders.

Thats right. Bring out the bamboo slivers, the hot tongs and electric shocks then turn of the tape recorder, I´ll tell you anything you want to know.
