[QUOTE=Warfish;4014133]An interesting claim.[/QUOTE]

Not my claim. A claim of a professorial military intelligence and counter intelligence operative whose methods led to the capture/death of many high profile terrorists leaders during the early part of the Iraq War.

But what does that guy know. My money is on the hundreds of people who inhabit internet message boards and invoke the "ticking time bomb" argument. :P The lowest common denominator and basest human emotions are usually the best way to implement a intelligence program, I've found. Torture works so good that almost every American POW spilled their guts to their captors. It's a fact. Take me to your leader :D
