#1 Since this orginated with the NY Slimes, add plenty of salt.

#2 This is a manual for the military not the non military spooks. This is just fine.

#3 Actually, manuals have very little 'legal' authority in determining such issues. It is the regulations which have legal binding authority. Another fine example of people who don't know what they're dealing with cause they're not part of the culture.

#4 Thanks, Senator McCain. Now that the Jihadis know exactly what the Americans can and cannot do, all they have to do is to train their people to withstand those techniques that are allowed. One of the purposes of the SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape) training that all military pilots undergo is to teach them to withstand (mild) torture.

I think that real torture is counter productive. The torturee will say anything to make the pain stop. (Ask McCain.) However, it is getting to the point that anything other than asking nicely, in a comfortable, well lit environment, with a Koran at the prisoner's side, will be considred torture.

#5 Don't know that McCain supports your contention. McCain ultimately ended up "ratting out" after incurring torture.

Ratting out prepared him for his political career as a verifiable RINO
