#2 There have to be effective ways of obtaining information than things like electric drills to kneecaps and pliers pulling fingernails, etc. Best would be drugs which don't cause long-term damage and where the interrogatee doesn't even realized they've told anything. C'mon, drug companies, get researching.

#4 The best forms of torture for intel keep the subject alive for further discussions.

That makes waterboarding and screwing with the body clock and loud music good.

A certain amount of pain is needed to reinforce the idea that it could get worse without cooperation.

For all their hand-wringing, Britain, France, Germany, Spain and Italy will gut you like a flounder if they thought you had information on a terrorist act.

#5 I'm comfortable letting those that extract the info make decisions on what they are comfortable with and what works. Monday morning quarterbacking from Soros funded grouos are only useful in that they help highlight the fools and traitors in our midst.
