Investigations of CIA interrogators

[Beavah]

Well, I see da Justice Department has gone ahead and dropped all its inquiries, except where the interrogators actually killed their subjects instead of just torturing 'em. Nice to know Obama's administration is consistently inept.

 

To celebrate the event, it's worth reflecting briefly on the words of one of the senior CIA interrogators who has come forward:

 

The value of intelligence gleaned from CIA torture is in fierce and highly politicized dispute. One of the very CIA interrogators who avoided Justice Department prosecution, Glenn Carle, writes in a forthcoming book, The Interrogator, that close review of most specific claims of critical intelligence obtained from rendition, detention and enhanced interrogation techniques shows that, in almost every case, the intelligence obtained was faulty and subsequently discredited or suspect, or of secondary importance.

 

The architects of the torture policies, Carle continues, are either sincerely misinformed persist in their delusions, are protecting from criticism the policies they have advocated and the men who made them, or are incapable or unwilling to acknowledge grievous error.

 

Straight from the horse's mouth.
