Channel 4 - Road to Guantanamo

Depression my @$$, just about anything you do these days can lead to depression. Driving in traffic, drinking to much coffee, having children, all these and many more (I once heard a psychiatrist say with apsolute certanty sex between minors leads to depression) lead to depression. Apparently everything leads to depression these days so using depression as a reason not to interogate someone is rather a weak statement. Giving them a popsicle and asking them very nicely, were are your terrorist friends, wont work.

Is your argument that it doesn't lead to depression, or that depression doesn't matter? First of all, there is a big difference between what happens due to conincidence as opposed to these people causing depression. Even then, you're suggesting that the this sort of a situation, where they've never been tried and their guilt has been assumed, would result in the same depression as a caffiene come-down or from driving in traffic. The entire point of what they do is to elicit the psychological state of someone who has been tortured, in order to get information.

I'm sure in your infinate wisdom of criminology you can tell me how to get the information out of them?

Becaus I have an opinion, I am stating that I have infinite wisdom? This is a new style of anlysis to me. There are ways of interrogation that do not involve purposefully putting them through a psychological Hell.
