#2 Resulting from this manhunt, coalition forces have rolled up hundreds of suspects. After ~~water board~~ swim lessons, we should have a mass of info on operations, names, and places. June could be a very busy month.

#4 Well, there is the alternative of playing endless . . . Barbara Streisand music to make 'em talk . . .

That, sir, would be a human rights violation. Fearful torture. Fearful.

So, what'cha waitin' for, guys? Here's a copy of Color Me Barbra and a Yentil soundtrack to get you started. Crank those amps up!

#5 Record fingers scraping across a blackboard, put it on endless repeat, and crank the amps up to about 200dB. They'll either crack or go deaf - a win-win situation either way.

#6 We don't do torture. Maybe we should, but we don't. I'd like to think we've developed effective pharmacologicals to help bring out useful information in situations like this - but since I haven't seen it in the New York Times I guess we don't.
Of course, we do things in Guantanamo that are called torture: "...he also had his baby pictures taken from him, that cleaners left marks on his cell walls and that detainees have no DVD players or other entertainment. (he) had his beard shaved twice and was forced to wear a protective suicide prevention smock. And he complained that he was only given cheap unscented soap and shampoo, and that in the recreation room there is "no weight lifting machine, no toilet, no sink, no hoops, and even balls them self have little air in them; they hardly bounce."
