What is your reaction to the CIA's interrogation methods?

What is your reaction to this?

Does these torture techniques work or do they only make the prisoner confess lies just so they can have an answer?"

    It doesn't surprise me at all. They are probably doing far worse things to those being detained. Read the book The Sorrows of Empire by Chalmer Johnson, this is an agency with no morals or scruples.

    In the words of JFK... the CIA is a dangerous organization that has outgrown government control...

    No. shock. After all we are talking the CIA. Physical torture as they're using seldom works. the subject will confess to anything just to make it stop. They need to use more surgically tuned psychological techniques.

    I can't say if they work or not but due to the fact that they are not covered in the Genva Convention as uniformed armed combantants. Technically they could have been shot as spies.

    Have there been any attacks since 911 on US soil? Do you think it is because they arent trying anymore?
