Reply #53: TORTURE DOESN'T WORK & won't help you win anything

[Ms. Clio]

And why do something that is not only illegal and immoral but does not even work?

It is clear that you either failed to read my post, or you lack the ability to understand it. Experts on the subject, such as CIA interrogators, have acknowledged that torture does not work when it comes to extracting reliable information from suspect.

How does something that doesn't work help you "win?"

Your point is senseless.


Torture Is Often a Temptation and Almost Never Works

''You've got to be able to count on the quality of the information you're obtaining,'' said Michael Baker, a 16-year veteran of the C.I.A. who is now chief executive of Diligence Middle East, a private security company that is working in Iraq. ''And once the prisoner is being tortured, how do you rely on what he's saying, because people will do anything to make the torture go away,'' Mr. Baker said.

In other words, torture doesn't work.
