[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]West claims they got information out of the guy.  He claims they "avoided being ambushed" as a result.

Yet I have not found a single source that can actually establish whether this was in fact good information.  I cannot find a single piece of information saying they caught or dealt with the supposed culprits.  I cannot find any tangible evidence whatsoever that he did in fact save lives or avoid ambushes.

The Committee review of CIA interrogation says that yes, quite often the person being tortured will indeed "sing like a bird" - but the problem is, none of the information they give is actually useful.  They are just talking, giving up random names and places and info in order to make the pain stop.  Again and again and again this was shown to be the case in the CIA files.  It really doesn't work.  And saying "see, we didn't get ambushed" after you tortured a guy really doesn't prove anything.[/quote]

What you are missing is the part where they knew about a plot prior. So, at the very least, they were lied to.

If it's your family, you taking that risk?

How many of you, if faced with a hostile neighbor who had done harm to others around you, would pay no never mind when that same individual threatened your own family? [/quote]
