Like I said, I am a federal law enforcement officer. I don't work in counter terrorism, but I've interrogated hundreds of people, alone, and with other agents. Let me ask you, have you ever conducted an interrogation? If so, you'll know that coercive methods do not work. Maybe, just maybe, you can threaten to use them on some punk kid to find where he's stashing coke, but actually using them is not effective. I've seen people use them before. Not within my agency or the federal government but I've seen local cops use them on people to find the name of a cop killer. One case, officers of a police department that will remain unnamed took a suspect I arrested for re-entering the country after being deported for interrogation on the murder of a police officer. They put a bag on the guys head and locked him in a dark room for hours, then beat the hell out of him. Did he give them a name? Nope. Nothing, zero. I have plenty of other stories like this but that is the most hard hitting one.I have done my homework. Many years ago. I've been reading about the info gained from EIT's for some time. I know that actionable intelligence was gained that definately prevented further terrorist attacks and saved innocent lives.
I'm not really surprised that we tracked down OBL from the info obtained from the EIT's'. I'm sure there is more info we still don't know about that was obtained by them.
I'm glad the fact that we knew the identity OBL's currier was never leaked to the NYT.
We did not track him down from EIT information. You are so wrong it's not even funny anymore. We learned the couriers name through intelligence, and then we checked the name with KSM, who lied about it. His lie is what made us catch on.
If you can find me one source of an EIT working on a suspect and finding a real lead, other than statements by Dick Cheney or George Bush, then I will be happy to give this another look. Otherwise, I'll just suppose you've given up.
