And so I do not yet see a convincing argument against deception in dealing with the guilty.

What happened to "innocent-until-proven-guilty"? Tell us huh? Tell us why such manipulative techniques as can (and have) caused the innocent to "confess" should not be exposed on video for the judge and jury and all the world to see? Sunshine is the best disinfectant.

Alright, alright! Mea culpa! Mea culpa!

I still think that we are talking about the guilty here, because I don't see someone confessing to a crime he didn't commit, but I realize that that position is unacceptable within our legal system.

As I said, I don't believe that such techniques have caused the guilty to confess. The reporters who are claiming that innocent people routinely confess to crimes they didn't commit, seek to undermine ALL confessions.
