Quoted:
One of the lawyers involved in drafting the "harsh interrogation methods are legal" memos supposedly admitted that "This is an awful mess." I have a sneaking suspicion that this was illegal (not that I wouldn't happily shove someone's dick in a garbage disposal if I thought they were going to blow up my family). Also the Dems are finding plenty of witnesses who were involved in the interrogations both watching and doing the "harsh interrogation" saying that it didn't work, was counter productive. There is some FBI guy running all over throwing the CIA (?) conctractors under the bus to make the FBI look good.

I don't think much will really come of this. The lawyers who wrote the memos are going to get harassed but not of the "interrogators" are going to have any trouble. course I am sure the CIA won't be willing to do anymore than offer terrorists a cuddly kitty if they tell where the nuke is at this point.

As far as the interrogations are concerned, all that remains an official secret is the information we gained as a result. Some of his defenders say the unseen memos are inconclusive, which only raises the question why they won't let the American people decide that for themselves. I saw that information as vice president, and I reviewed some of it again at the National Archives last month. I've formally asked that it be declassified so the American people can see the intelligence we obtained, the things we learned, and the consequences for national security. And as you may have heard, last week that request was formally rejected. It's worth recalling that ultimate power of declassification belongs to the President himself. President Obama has used his declassification power to reveal what happened in the interrogation of terrorists. Now let him use that same power to show Americans what did not happen, thanks to the good work of our intelligence officials.

I believe this information will confirm the value of interrogations - and I am not alone. President Obama's own Director of National Intelligence, Admiral Blair, has put it this way: "High value information came from interrogations in which those methods were used and provided a deeper understanding of the al-Qaeda organization that was attacking this country." End quote. Admiral Blair put that conclusion in writing, only to see it mysteriously deleted in a later version released by the administration - the missing 26 words that tell an inconvenient truth. But they couldn't change the words of George Tenet, the CIA Director under Presidents Clinton and Bush, who bluntly said: "I know that this program has saved lives. I know we've disrupted plots. I know this program alone is worth more than the FBI, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency put together have been able to tell us." End of quote.

I think we should torture them by cutting them in half.

You don't learn a lot that way, well except with chinese fortune cookies.  It also makes a real mess (note the only large animal I chainsawed in half was not a terrorist, but I think the outcome would be the same)

You'd be surprised. After you cut the first one in half the ones next in line get awfully talkative.
