I don't believe in excepting the loss of innocent life when you have information available to stop it... by using extreme methods of interrogation. To compare THAT to a Soviet gulag is asinine.

There's no guarantee someone will tell you the Truth just because he's in pain. He'll tell you whatever he thinks you want to hear.
