How do the recent "confessions" of interfering in Iranian elections?

make you feel about the reliability of information obtained by torture? Is it worth violating our Constitution and its principles just to hear what the person being "interrogated" thinks you want to hear?

    TEHRAN, Iran – A young French academic and local staff of the British and French embassies stood trial Saturday with dozens of Iranian opposition figures and confessed to being involved in the country's postelection unrest.

    This is not even an accusation of interfering with the election. It is an accusation of engaging in violence AFTER the election. In any case 'enhanced interrogation' to obtain information is NOT equivalent to coercing a confession. If you believe it is, you are not qualified to do either.

    Iranian elections are none of America's business.
