Torture Works as an Interrogation Method |

If it wasn't for the use of torture the Spanish would never have caught all those Witches during the Inquisition (1478-1834). Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Inquisition

3. Torture is not good for interrogation; it is very good for terrorizing people |
|
which is why it was used.

|
extracting a false confession is the primary usage

15. It's also a GREAT way to get false information - so... |
|
it really was the only way to information linking Saddam to the 9-11 attack. And that's what we needed in order to attack Iraq.

6. K&R! Such good points. |
|
I've yet to be proven wrong in any of the Witches I've captured. None of them could float when tied to a rock and tossed in the river, clearly proving they are witches. Everyone knows good Christian people float when tied to a rock and tossed in the river, because the angels carry them to the surface, duh!

Don't you realize that all you have to do to determine who's a witch is to see if they weigh the same as a duck? Get out of the dark ages and get with the times, people!
I actually LOVE this. Can't you see all the people gathering at Sarah Palin rallies, standing up, being handed a mic, and declaring, "Just last week, I was turned into a NEWT!"
"I got better."
Alternative response: "Sit down, Mr. Gingrich."
Bushian Logic: The fact that there are no witches in this country right now proves that the Salem witch hunts were the right thing to do. It's every bit as logical as the assertion that Bush kept us safe because we didn't have another attack on American soil after 9/11.
