I am soundly against any form of torture or dishonesty such as a torture bluff under any circumstance. "The key to interrogation is finding the weakness in the detainees psyche. " It has been demonstrated time and time again that the greatest weakness in a detainee's psyche is their need to keep a rational grip on truth. Qualified interrogators know that when armed with the truth and the commitment to seek truth, they are able to engage detainees in a way that encourages them to come clean on relevant information. Torture and bluffing about torture flies in direct contradiction to that goal.

<<Most of them are pretty lucky that they are merely held in detention considering the crimes they've committed.>> This is a major part of this whole system that I have issue with......if these guys have committed crimes why are they not charged with these offenses?? It seems to be very inconsistent. BTW I appreciate the civility with which you reply to my posts and for the candor that you display. As you can tell we don't see eye to eye on most of our topics of discussion but I respect your opinion as I believe you do mine. MON
