No, I'm opposed to the use of torture or "torture lite" because I don't believe it works.

This is what the experts say, but maybe the experts are just mouthing the party line.

It's been the position of the US legal system for generations, as well.

But the Egyptians, the Syrians, etc., seem to be pretty good at it, maybe because they speak the language and understand the culture better than Americans do.

I just don't know.
