See the drool?

so early in the morning,,,,, actually I can't stand to hear it anytime!! Are she & Coulter sisters???

I actually used an example from an episode of "24" to ask a question about whether it was ok to torture in some instances. Everyone jumped all over the example rather than the question. No doubt people will say the fact that this nitwit used my example is an indicator that I'm wrong on my view.

I say to those folks... even a broken clock is right 2 times a day.

I served in Army Military Intelligence for four years.

Newsflash: "24" is FICTION!

Anyone who has been trained in interrogation techniques KNOWS that if you don't immediately need the information it is a thousand times more preferable to "establish a relationship" with the captive. However, once you do the betcha by golly wow TORTURE used on that POS fictional show, "24," you can kiss good-bye any chance of a true interview with the captive. When you whip out "torture" and/or so called "coercive interrogation" from the onset, each and every time you question the person, you will have to continue to intimidate and torture. Even if the prisoner does not mentally "break down" into a slobbering mass of nerve endings, you will NOT, I say again ---> You will NOT glean any valuable information from him. :thumbsdown:

Take a few moments to scan the Table of Contents of The Army's Field Manual (link below) to discern that the most valuable, corroborated human intelligence is gleaned through a series of targeted and skilled interrogations.

FM 34-52 INTELLIGENCE INTERROGATION

Please don't let me stop folks from the ongoing fantasy trips of "24 type intelligence operations." :eyes:

However, skilled and effective intelligence units, do not operate in this manner.

TRANSLATION: In the real world, such tactics ONLY serve to *break* the prisoner. After the captive is broken and resentful, no useful intelligence will be gleaned from him. :thumbsdown:

I got into a discussion with a relative who thinks that the US tortures all of our prisoners anyway, so what's the big deal? I tried to explain to him that grownups who are serious about this issue no that these tactics are not effective.

a right wing radio host. And that says a lot. That says an awful lot.
