(AG) Holder: Won't selectively release torture memos

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder says he won't play "hide and seek" with secret memos about harsh interrogations of terror suspects and their effectiveness.

Holder is testifying before the House Appropriations Committee and says he's willing to release as much information as possible about the interrogations.

He was asked about the fierce debate that has erupted since the Justice Department released four memos last week detailing the harsh techniques used on some detainees during the Bush administration. Republicans have urged President Barack Obama to release other classified reports detailing what intelligence information was gained from such questioning. Holder said he didn't know what specific memos Republicans may be referring to.

Even if they did. Say you torture 100 people, and get valuable information from one of them, how do you know what is good and what isn't?

Torture doesn't work. Period.

Open the flood gates.

are those classified too?? destroyed?? do they still exists???

I hope any videotapes that remain in existence are released as well. As much as possible needs to come out so there's no further question of exactly what was done in our names.

There was no actionable intelligence. If there were, we would have been SICK OF HEARING ABOUT IT by now.

If nothing else, these guys are narcissists.

time to call chaney what he is. A dick. ;)

Snarl could probably just order up a few freshly minted ones on demand.

Now he's just stuck with some small nondescript leased office space in some strip mall somewhere with no name plate, seems I read.
