They should already be using torture.. where would I sign up for this job? That would be just tooo much funnn.

The UK Times has been know to be a little over-the-top.

Show them the "hog feast" scene from Hannibul first.

I believe that if these people will not cooperate, they should be released; about 200 miles south of ANWR, in the clothes they were wearing when they were picked up and with bus fare.

I understand that the ole wire up the weewee works wonders

Why would a truth serum, such as sodium pentothal, be considered torture? This would seem an excellent option without compromising "humanitarian treatment" reputation. I never knew there was such a thing, I'm surprised they haven't been using it in the courts already.

Want 'em to talk? Tie them face to face with a rotting corpse, or better yet, Janet, or Hillary.

I guarantee you'll tell everything you know.

It's not that people can hold up under torture, it's that people who actually don't know anything will be more than willing to fabricate in order to make it stop. Torture a man enough and he will confess to anything.

"Well, whaddaya think? Should they go for it?"

No. Leave the FBI out of it.

Extradite these bozos to the City of New York, where the police department has a history of shoving broomsticks up peoples butts when they’re bored.

Imagine what they’d do when they’re pissed.

"I am: a.) surprised this story was leaked . . ."

I am hoping that this is disinformation directed at the hostiles: "See, we've done everything we can, and they're STILL not talking. And, we're not ALLOWED to use torture . . . "

And, meanwhile, the prisoners are telling us everything we need to know.

[Sans-Culotte]

I think it's time to get medieval on they asses!

I agree what we should not have others do what we are unwilling to do. However, we need to use torture, here's why: it can lead us to others that are still loose and stop them from killing more Americans. Such information will be/could be verifiable so it would not be "whatever they want to hear". We are not dealing with normal human beings here.

One thing that needs to be done though is, these folks names have to be made public. Their fellow conspirators know by now what happened to them, we need to keep our watch on the government by making what is done public.
