It’s as brazen as the hoax of austerity ( http://thoughtcrimeradio.net/2017/03/censored-ben-franklin-on-the-real-cause-of-the-american-revolution/ ) or the “drug war” ( http://thoughtcrimeradio.net/2017/05/the-cia-and-the-crack-cocaine-epidemic/ ) or infant circumcision ( http://thoughtcrimeradio.net/2014/02/the-war-on-empathy-love-and-family/ ).  It doesn’t work for its stated purpose, but it’s a dandy way to subjugate people in a police state, when other “gentler” forms of social control fail.   The traitors are emerging from the shadows for their big satanic debut.   They’re hoping no one notices the trail of blood behind them.  But the smell of dead things is getting overpowering.

Top Interrogation Experts Agree: Torture Doesn’t Work

Apologists for torture say that it was a “necessarily evil” to stop future terror attacks.

However, the top interrogation experts all say torture that doesn’t work:

• The military agency which actually provided advice on harsh interrogation techniques for use against terrorism suspects warned the Pentagon in 2002 that those techniques would produce “unreliable information.”

• Army Field Manual 34-52 Chapter 1 says:
  

  “Experience indicates that the use of force is not necessary to gain the cooperation of sources for interrogation. Therefore, the use of force is a poor technique, as it yields unreliable results, may damage subsequent collection efforts, and can induce the source to say whatever he thinks the interrogator wants to hear.”

• A declassified FBI e-mail dated May 10, 2004, regarding interrogation at Guantanamo states “[we] explained to [the Department of Defense], FBI has been successful for many years obtaining confessions via non-confrontational interviewing techniques.” (see also this)

• Brigadier General David R. Irvine, retired Army Reserve strategic intelligence officer who taught prisoner interrogation and military law for 18 years with the Sixth Army Intelligence School, says torture doesn’t work

• The CIA’s own Inspector General wrote that waterboarding was not “efficacious” in producing information

• A former FBI interrogator — who interrogated Al Qaeda suspects — says categorically that torture does not help collect intelligence. On the other hand he says that torture actually turns people into terrorists

• A 30-year veteran of CIA’s operations directorate who rose to the most senior managerial ranks, says:
  

  “The administration’s claims of having ‘saved thousands of Americans’ can be dismissed out of hand because credible evidence has never been offered — not even an authoritative leak of any major terrorist operation interdicted based on information gathered from these interrogations in the past seven years. … It is irresponsible for any administration not to tell a credible story that would convince critics at home and abroad that this torture has served some useful purpose.This is not just because the old hands overwhelmingly believe that torture doesn’t work — it doesn’t — but also because they know that torture creates more terrorists and fosters more acts of terror than it could possibly neutralize.”

• The FBI interrogators who actually interviewed some of the 9/11 suspects say torture didn’t work

• A former US Air Force interrogator said that information obtained from torture is unreliable, and that torture just creates more terrorists

• The number 2 terrorism expert for the State Department says torture doesn’t work, and just creates more terrorists

• A former high-level CIA officer states:

Many governments that have routinely tortured to obtain information have abandoned the practice when they discovered that other approaches actually worked better for extracting information. Israel prohibited torturing Palestinian terrorist suspects in 1999. Even the German Gestapo stopped torturing French resistance captives when it determined that treating prisoners well actually produced more and better intelligence.

• The Senate Armed Services Committee unanimously found that torture doesn’t work.

• A former CIA station chief in Pakistan who served at the agency for three decades doubts that torture saved any lives

Still don’t believe it? These people also say torture doesn’t produce usable intelligence:  ……..
