So I guess we are now discussing the use of enhanced interrogation techniques in general . . .
I love how some people on a messageboard decide they are experts on something simply because they’ve read some news articles about it.
My position is that first the politicians decide whether enhanced interrogation techniques can be used or not, and then the interrogators get to decide which techniques to use in a specific situation with a specific detainee. My opinion about what works and what doesn’t based on reading news articles is completely meaningless. My view on what is “moral” or “immoral” (if I were to even use those words) is also completely meaningless.
In this specific case, even if KSM didn’t reveal any useful info while being waterboarded, that doesn’t mean that waterboarding was not useful in the overall program of obtaining information from KSM. None of us are qualified to decide that question–any of our opinions on that would be about as useful as my dog’s opinion about which movie to watch.
