To those that claim (falsely) that torture does not work and the information is unreliable, you are wrong, period. It has a long track record of being reliable, I’m not talking about waterboarding, that’s not torture, not even remotely close to being torture.

The educated elite will tell you the enemy will say anything, make up lies to get the torture to stop, therefore making it unreliable. Ignorance is bliss. Especially coming from the people who think they know everything about everything, even when they have no experience in dealing with a particular subject.

If you are put in a very uncomfortable position and are experiencing extreme pain, are not allowed to pass out or sleep and you decide you’re going to fib a little to get the merciless pain to stop, and are told that if your information is false, what you are going through now would be considered “the easy part.” Do you really think the enemy is going to lie, knowing it will start all over again? Of course he won’t. And it’s been proven time and time again.

Yes, I’m in favor of using torture against the hardcore terrorists, not so against a POW from a uniformed national military. But terrorists, yes, absolutely. And as we now know as fact, torture led us to Osama Bin Laden.

via the Minneapolis Star Tribune:

Officials say CIA interrogators in secret overseas prisons developed the first strands of information that ultimately led to the killing of Osama bin Laden.

Current and former U.S. officials say that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, provided the nom de guerre of one of bin Laden’s most trusted aides. The CIA got similar information from Mohammed’s successor, Abu Faraj al-Libi. Both were subjected to harsh interrogation tactics inside CIA prisons in Poland and Romania.

The news is sure to reignite debate over whether the now-closed interrogation and detention program was successful.

Debate? What debate? It worked. Period. There is no debate.
