LOL! A CIA officer? Yeah, the CIA has been a real reliable source of information these past couple of years, and I can't imagine why a CIA agent would want to justify the CIA's use of torture. I guess since the people doing the torturing says its OK, its all good then, right!
It is already a regular practice. Our President has already announced that we use 'harsh interrogation techniques' which is the same thing as saying 'we torture prisoners, but we don't really like the word 'torture', so we're gonna call it something else.' And if you can't see that, then how blind are you?

There is some debate as to whether that guy was an intelligence boon or not. The FBI believed him to be a mentally retarded individual... then all of a sudden he starts talking to the CIA about blowing up the Pope, the London Tower, the Pyramids in Egypt and a thousand other fiendish plots more outlandish than the last one.
I don't believe it. If it worked so well, you wouldn't have so many CIA, FBI and military people going apeshit over torture. There are other factors at play that are not readily apparent.
We do know through history it has not worked. For there to be a few aberrations now and then where we don't know the details, that doesn't count as evidence of its efficacy.
The world is nothing like "24". People need to get that through their pea brains.
There are those here who are correct about nothing being black and white. That's true.
So if Salma Hayek is my sister... and offers to sleep with me, am I supposed to think that there are exceptions in life?
Its like slavery. Its not necessarily black or white either. Yet its not condoned.
I will say this about torture. I agree with Mark Bowden who said that if it came down to torturing a suspect or allowing thousands to die, the agents should torture the suspect and allow themselves to be arrested and tried in a court of law.
The facts behind their torture of the suspect could be made clear and a jury of their fellow citizens would be highly doubtful to find them guilty.

No need to read the article, moron, this is old news, I saw the guy interviewed on TV.
And its proof of nothing except that a former CIA agent is claiming that it works. If you trust CIA agents to tell the truth them I'm not sure you really understand what the CIA's job is.
