Listen, you can defend torture, or you can defend the Constitution. Not both. The 8th Amendment explicitly forbids torture with all forms of cruel and unusual punishment. To defend torture is to attack the Constitution.

Even if torture was effective—and the CIA proved it is not—torture is wrong. It is a barbarous violation of human rights, and our condemnation of it is what separates us from those we rightly call monsters. A government that tortures has no legitimacy.

I don't know about you, but if I were tortured and had information the torturers wanted, I would eventually break. Haven't studies shown this to be the case for most people? What would you do in a known "ticking bomb" situation where Dershowitz suggests a torture warrant?

*If* you had information. Reality isn't like Hollywood movies where only ppl with crucial info get tortured.
-
And the people with no info do break, but give info that isn't real, they will say anything to make it stop.

Didn’t it lead to the finding of Bin Lauden???
-
No. That was just a dog and pony show. Bin Laden had already been dead for years from Marfan Syndrome.
@StevePieczenik is a great source on this topic. -
Oh, well great to hear that
@BarackObama and our Government spent so much time wasted looking for Bin Launden! Anyone else already dead? Oh, is Elvis still alive???

Was the goal to get information, or was the program an extension of the trauma-based mind control which became public and supposedly ended in the 1970s? The techniques are very similar.

And because of your traitorous acts countless terrorists have used and carried out attacks using technologies they know the good guys (the IC) could no longer read. You must be extremely proud of yourself. Get off your high horse and stop pretending you did/do good.
