Wow! I am now totally convinced that torture works.
I always had my doubts about the "ticking bomb" justification for torturing people, but now after seeing how they got Khalid Sheik Mohammed to talk, I completely concur that torture is the only way. After all, if someone had planted a nuclear device in my city that was going to go off in only 24 hours (Hey, what a great concept for a TV show!), torturing a suspect would let me know the location of that bomb in only FOUR YEARS TIME!

2. Amazing, isn't it?!
After four years, he admits to EVERYTHING, and just in time to boost Bush's numbers & distract from Bush scandals. Torture works! :rofl:

4. Am I the only one who noticed
that McCain signed an anti-American statement after only a couple of weeks of torture, er, I mean, "stress questions", and this guy held out for four years.
