I've personally been trapped underwater and feared drowning. It is terrifying. But while I don't like the use of waterboarding, there's no doubt it is an effective means of interrogation. As for accuracy, no one makes operational decisions based on a single confession. The information is always confirmed through other sources. As for the anti-Zero Dark Thirty statements from Hollywood elites, is anyone really surprised? They are not known for their integrity.
Weeks before the Oscars, Sony Pictures, the studio behind "Zero Dark Thirty," put out this statement: "We are outraged that any responsible member of the Academy would use their voting status in (the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences) as a platform to advance their own political agenda. The film should be judged free of partisanship. To punish an artist's right of expression is abhorrent. This community, more than any other, should know how reprehensible that is."
To what was Sony Pictures co-chair Amy Pascal referring?
"Zero Dark Thirty," directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written by Mark...
So you have experience in interrogations or how information is gleamed from captives. Please enlighten me with the techniques.
Any form of incompetent interrogation will yield incompetent results, whether it be torture or gentle words.
If that is so, please tell me why soldiers are only given enough intel to accomplish their immediate mission, since everyone knows torture doesn't work?
All that tells me is the liberal democrats are as incompetent at torture as they are at everything else. Oh, one more thing - water boarding is not torture.
