No. I don't think that. I haven't a clue where you're picking that up from. Show me where I said that this was the "only information ever obtained".

Okay, seriously, your point was that, due to some "bad" information, enhanced interrogation shouldn't occur. My counter-point is that there is good information being learned as well, but that you're acting as though only bad information exists.
By the way, have you ever stopped and REALLY thought about it? If so, you'd recognize that a lot of the "bad" information gathered is a result not of the technique being used, but of the subject simply believing bad information.
That should clear things up.[quote]The information received under torture of this person was the centrepiece for Colin Powells claim that Saddam and Al-Qaeda were working on WMD's together. I posted that above.
The information was wrong, and known to be problematic by DIA and some CIA. But it was included anyway. To me that displays a lack of concern to whether the information is accurate, or at least a willingness to accept non-verified information. Like Curveball.[quote]I agree, and have said for years that this is a problem. But this has nothing to do with the subject being discussed.

Go on then, you don't need my permission to post something.

I accidently posted this in the previous post.

Not everything comes down to someone's "side". This guy was in the room, doing the interrogation. And he states that normal interrogation was working, contrary to what the OLC memo states.

In this case it does come down to someone's side, as there are plenty of OTHER people in the room who state otherwise.

So listening to the people who were involved in the process isn't "common sense"?
The words of the interrogators are discounted because of possible political bias?

Listening to the one or two that agree with your point while discounting the others of similar qualifications isn't common sense when honestly making an attempt to find the truth. Sorry.

Apologies. I confused you with Tribesman.
