Of course. Why do you think our domestic traitors are against "aggressive interrogation"? Because they know it works. And that might mean the US might win. And make Bush look good. And that's the torture they fear the most.

But what about his Fifth Amendment rights?

I wonder what other methods are used?

I mean jeez, with drugs today, you could convice one of these monsters they were talking to Bin Laden himself and spill all his guts.

I hope they did not offend this poor soul.

From the story, a tidbit:
KSM said bin Laden's No. 2, Ayman al-Zawahiri, opposed the Sept. 11 attacks, disagreeing with bin Laden over whether to honor the request of Afghanistan's Taliban leader, Mullah Omar, not to attack the United States.

Seems they weren't always singing from the same sheet of music back then. I've noticed lately we're hearing more from al-Z than from bin Laden. We know what bin Laden did with those in his way; I wonder if al Z shared this leadership style? Could this explain bin Laden's silence?

(I read this on Lucianne earlier and the implication was made by another, so credit goes to them. I'm glad you posted this article.)

IIRC this is the guy who took a bullet in the groin during his capture. In a society that is so male and sex organ centric as Arab societies are, I am guessing that said injury, the threat of more, and/or the promise of repairs were probably more effective in wringing this guy dry than any waterboarding.

I'm not Arab but a bullet in the wahoo would have my undivided attention. Threatening me with another bullet or threatening to not treat my injury would tend to make me willing to cooperate. And using the "$6 million man" promise of rebuilding him bigger, better, stronger? Well, tell me what you want to know. I'm not gonna lie cuz I know you're gonna check it out and I want you to keep your promise of turning my wounded wonder worm into a burka bustin zipperzilla.

Remember the captured Iraqi who knew about attacks coming against American soldiers? An American officer fired a gun next to him, scaring him into talking. It saved American lives. Of course our Army responded by bringing charges against him. The net is that intimidation worked. So much for the "it doesn't work" assertion.
