        If this were true torture would have died out years ago, its simple, if something works it continues if it doesn't it dies out/stops the rest is subjective b0ll0cks!

          Dead or should be dead people just don't count.

            Not so. Torture will continue as long as someone THINKS it is effective.

            We know that the Americans never get their intelligence wrong don't we?

            They say that power tends to corrupt ...

            The problem I have with Guano Bay is this. America agents have been told that they can arrest and torture people if they consider them a security threat. There is no independent watchdog. There is no independent defence council. There are no jurers. There is no comeback if they make a mistake.

            If they find someone is Al Qaida, they get a big pat on the back. If they torture and/or kill an innocent, there is no retribution. So they might as well torture and/or kill as many people as they can, in the hope that 1 in 10 will be a genuine terrorist, and hence they will get lots of pats on the back.
