What CAN I Believe?

Marjorie Cohn's article on torture and confessions was posted today at Truthout. And I am shocked. Shocked! I say. Because according to her, even torturing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Abu Zubaydah could not get either man to link Saddam with 9-11. Did you get that? We couldn't even get a false confessions from torture.

But I thought would could use torture to get any false confession we wanted. Isn't that was the left is always saying? So, what, did the interrogators not know how to do their jobs? Do they need to spend more time practicing?

Take a lesson US government, the next time you want to torture prisoners to gain specific information to support an unpopular cause -- spend a little more time coaching the prisoners with the answers you want. May I suggest cue cards?
