Conclusion is that torture does work but it is immoral, at least from the vantage point of an ivory tower.

To some people torture or violence is always immoral, unless it's their life that is on the line.

At this point, I don’t give a rat’s @$$ what they do to those savages. They should get their heads sawed off, be burned alive in cages and crucified. They earned it Savages.

If it's today's Rat Party that's conducting the study or supporting it you *know* it's a bum rap meant to harm this nation.About 40 years ago the Rat party,fast coming under the control of filthy 60’s radicals like Bill Ayers,made a conscious decision to become the Treason Party and thus we have Dirty Harry,Bella Pelosi,Princess Liawatha and Barry “Choom Gang” Soreto.

The author bases his thesis on the point that the so-called torture was illegal. However he does not cite any US legal statutes that were violated. He bases it on the Geneva Convention. My understanding is that terrorists are not covered by the Geneva Convention. My understanding that those who commit attacks on civilians or fight out of uniform are not covered, and can be legally executed on the spot. Logic tells one that the only ones engaging in illegal acts were the Islamic terrorists.

Never crosses this guys’s lips or probably mind that the realized and intended victims of those detainees so treated suffered in many cases far more painfully than the “tortured.” If that is a question you can’t ask in terms of “whether it worked,” then you are an immoral monster yourself.

The thing that is most disturbing about the CIA is that Marie Harf used to be an analyst there. If that’s the caliber of our CIA employees we are so screwed!
