>> He is not qualified? and you are? Don't put words in my mouth you asshole; I didn't say anything like that. I simply pointed out that Soufan is not experienced with the kinds of interrogations that CIA performs. He is an FBI agent who has different objectives and constraints, and thus he is not particularly qualified in this type of interrogation. If he is against it, the video proves him to be the political hack I know he is... Well, of course he is opposed to it. He has maintained that position from the outset. That in no way contradicts the FACT that TORTURE WORKS. We know that. As he said, it has been practiced for centuries. If it didn't work better than alternative procedures, someone would have figured it out by now. Today, just about every country on earth employs harsher techniques than we do. And certainly, every one of them in the ME does. That is not done for someone's enjoyment, as you obviously assume. It is done because it has been shown to work over the centuries. Graham, while opposing the use of torture (and even waterboarding), was simply grilling Soufan on a statement he made that was demonstrably incorrect. That's Graham's job. What this exchange has done is to show that you are, indeed, an extremist liberal.
