Notice it was rather relavent to what you posted earlier? A post which gave your reasons for your agreeing with governments doing nasty things.
as i said earlier:
1. I am in favour of effective interrogation techniques

3. I recognise that brutal techniques are both ineffective and uncertain, and therefore useless.
