If "Harsh Interrogation" worked pretty well then just think how well full blown torture will do?

If we give in to this meme being spread around that "it worked" how far are they willing to take it from there... Where does it end? That needs to be how they are confronted...Where does it end???? If a little is good then a whole lot has to be much better...Right???

1. It did not "work," except to get false information.
Which is what they wanted.

And evidently it took hundreds and hundreds of repetitions to "work" at all. :crazy:

2. I see your point. It doesn't matter if it really works, it only matters that they claim it does.

It could lead to this logic:

1. The methods used are (allegedly) something less than "real" torture.

2. The methods used (allegedly) "work".

3. Therefore, if "real" torture is used instead then it will work even better (and save more American lives, yada, yada, yada.)

So let's use even more evil and sadistic methods (if any exist).

The sky's the limit!
