Torture Never Works
That’s the good news, anyway. The bad news is that al-Qaeda never got the memo, so for now, at least, they’re continuing to employ these useless techniques to obtain unreliable intelligence on the rest of us. I’m sure that al-Qaeda will see the folly of their ways sooner or later, probably around the same time that our criminals disarm en masse because the guns they carry now are 43 times more likely to kill them than their putative victims.

Everybody knows that crimes of violence increase in hot weather. It’s Bush’s fault for not signing the Kyoto Protocols.

In all fairness, the argument is that “torture never works” for getting useful, truthful information from the tortured.
Al Quaeda doesn’t want information. They torture simply to cause pain and death, as a morale weapon.
