Ex-CIA agent: We used torture and it worked

[Board Game Geek]

We could argue about this ad infinitum. I think it's suffice to say that you and I aren't going to agree about these things anytime soon...

Fair do's....

They don't tell you everything - they say what they do, but they don't say the words being said while this is done - these words are far more important from torture point of view then actual action, that's why they erased those tapes.

Yep, they also did what they call a "lite" version. The real version includes putting clingfilm round the face, cutting a small hole and pouring the water in...now that is mean.

Well, the simple answer is to not torture them then.

Arrest then, give them a jolly good ticking off, and send them on their way.

I'm sure that will work.

Strangely, a remarkably effective technique against terrorists.

Only court can make a decision that someone is a terrorist. Should this decision be ever made that person would go to jail for a very long time.

I'm talking about a scenario in the UK in which a terrorist commits an atrocity, there is no room for doubt, so it's pointless going to trial, and prior to the execution (he's going to die anyway), there may be some information that may be useful through torture.

So instead of executing the Brazilian on the underground, they should have tortured him to death instead.

Excellent plan. Well done.

Go study some history.

Doesn't matter if he got life sentence in proper court - torturing people is becoming scum like nazies and communists. If you want to be like them then fair enough - I would support law that would allow to torture people who, like you, advocate torture.
