Maybe it is distasteful but I have a hard time believing that the intelligence agencies of virtually every country in the world use tactics that dont work. Obviously we would all prefer terrorists to roll over without resorting to torture but I would guess that this is not the case in a great deal of cases but how would I really know? Some things are just better off unknown...

I know I don't agree with this. We are responsible for what this country's agents do. Just like the Japanese people (and the German people) should be blamed for what they allowed their leaders to do in WW2. We need to know, and we need to be responsible for it.
