Re: Do you think water boarding is torture?
No, they are nto talking points. That's just the excuse used not to addresss them. And people use ineffective stuff all the time. It is simply false that it wouldn't be used if it weren't effective. We've tortured quite a few people. We know of two deaths, one we know was innocent and the other likely innocent, we tortured a guy because we got his name wrong, we know we've gotten misinformation and acted on it, and with all this evidence against it, there is next to nothing documented any success with it. These are the simply facts of the matter. We have many texts written on effective interrogation techqinues and much that shows many of them far more effective. And in fact, or best intel came from those techniques.
These are simply talking points. If it was not effective it would not be used. Can a detainee give false information? Certainly but they can by other means as well.
