Read the article-- in short, the accounts of torture match up with physical and psychological tests done on released detainees.

What do you think is going to come of this? American public reaction, American Government reaction? Global reactions?

And totally counterproductive

While I was mostly being sarcastic.. what is the production value of taking on prisoners? If it were up to the libs in this country, we would have to beg the terrorists to tell us what they know.

Wait, scratch that. They would probably consider that torture somehow too.

Especially if/when they surrender. In fact, many people consider that a "war crime."
