Osama found using Gitmo torture info

[Skeptic Ginger]

I'm sure people are going to believe what they already believe and I don't expect very many, if any, to be interested in the actual evidence, but I dug up these links to my past posts on the subject that had source links in them on the off chance maybe someone was interested.

If I get time, I'll try to summarize the content in a new post and check on the currentness of the links. Chances are some are dead links by now. At least the first post links are good. The bottom line is, many expert interrogators don't believe torture is an effective means of eliciting information. You get a lot of goose chase material and false confessions. That's it.
