I have no problem with interrogation. Sleep deprivation, music, lights, etc. Those are all valid interrogation techniques. Rape, attack dogs, breaking bones with baseball bats, and murder are not.
Thats all I am saying is that we need to have a clear line and our troops need to understand what the rules are.
"VALID" interrogation techniques are WHATEVER WORKS. And it's NOT true that interrogators were "breaking bones and murdering" the prisoners, not that it would be a great loss.
You still don't get it, that these are the TERRORISTS who murdered thousands of innocent Americans and are doing everything they can to murder more of us.

Kansas senator refuses to sign bill banning torture

U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan. says he doesn’t condone torture, but he believes that terror suspects have information that can save innocent American lives.
“One of the most valuable tools we have in getting this information is terrorists’ fear of the unknown,” Roberts, a Kansas Republican who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, told the Journal-World on Thursday.
That’s why Roberts was part of a small minority Wednesday to oppose a Senate measure banning “cruel, inhuman or degrading” treatment of prisoners held by U.S. forces. The act passed 90-9, with strong support from both Democrats and Republicans.
Roberts said the measure, if it becomes law, will give terrorists an unfair advantage.
“Passing a law that telegraphs to the entire world what (terror suspects) can expect, if caught, I think would be a great mistake,” he said.
