Why torture doesn't work




I remember when Abu Zubaydah was captured and we were told it was the next best thing to getting Bin Laden himself and that by torturing him, the Yanks were gunna save zillions of lives.

Guess what?

Turns out, surprise surprise, that the Yanks were bullshitting.

Zubaydah was a mentally ill equivalent of an Al-Qaeda dogsbody who knew nothing about anything

And that torturing him only produced false leads that lead the Yanks to watse millions of hours and dollars chasing shadows.
