The debate continues to be enhanced interrogation. Many believe its torture. Many believe its not. We all know where thats led us. Another Jimmy Carter purging of the CIA to make far left liberals happy. I just have to post this........it made me spit my coffee out on the keyboard literally when I read it. From Wiki on Right Wing Authoritarianism. In roleplaying situations, authoritarians tend to seek dominance over others by being competitive and destructive instead of cooperative. In a study by Altemeyer, 68 authoritarians played a three hour simulation of the earth's future entitled the Global change game. Unlike a comparison game played by individuals with low RWA scores, which resulted in world peace and widespread international cooperation, the simulation by authoritarians became highly militarized and eventually entered the stage of nuclear war. By the end of the high RWA game, the entire population of the earth was declared dead. Now if the world consisted of all LOW RWA people....there would be world peace. If it all consisted of high RWA people there would be global destruction. Betcha cant guess whose running Guantanamo and which type the prisoners are?> I agree that torture should be illegal and that it should never be used by the United States.

Yawn. Continual conflation of “torture” with “enhanced interrogation techniques” which legally were not “torture” per the relevant statutes. Yawn.

Torture IS illegal. I don't know why you feel the need to spin the facts in such a way that you can call people with opinions names. It does not matter what information was or was not gleaned. If I kill someone who bugs me, guess what? It will work! They will stop bugging me. I will still have dirty hands and a moral blot on my soul. And it will be illegal.
