“An Islamic terrorist has set up an atomic bomb somewhere in a city where 100,000 Americans, including your parents and children are living. There is no time to evacuate them.”
This is not the typical situation. If there is an imminent threat, anything should be in play. The problem is if torture is used as a regular interrogation method. That’s where you get false information and why many say it’s not at all reliable. If you make policy on this false information, you have big problems. If the guy gives you false info with regard to the imminent threat it doesn’t matter really as you have to try anything regardless of the results...it’s a ticking time bomb.
No problem at all. You simply reward good intel and punish the bad.... and confirm everything.
Very simple.
I agree and I believe I heard that the number of times we have used “waterboarding” could be counted on one hand.
We have been VERY successful thus far. Enemies of this country were cheering at the Democrat control of congress and they will be cheering if a Dem gets into the White House.
This debate makes our country appear weak and divided. I pray we are not the former and am afraid we are the later.
