Imagine that?

If it worked so well you would think these three good old boys would have been cuffed and stuffed a long time ago wouldn't ya?

Wonder what happened with that?

2. That Was Not Its Aim, Sir: Its Aim Was Statements Al' Queda Co-Operated With Saddam Hussein
A few of these were wrung from those tortured by U.S. personnel.

It should always be remembered the procedures used were employed traditionally to gain false confessions, not accurate information.

4. The torture only needed to conform to Cheney's expectations.
The whole purpose was to get Iraq linked to 9/11. They did that - so torture succeeded.

The fact that the techniques they used were designed in the '50s by the Chinese explicitly to elicit false information is beside the point.

5. There was never any intention to capture OBL.
It will never happen. One of the richest families in the richest oil producing coutry will never allow their boy to be taken.
