Are you saying that the guy just caught (sorry forgot his name) knows nothing about Bin Laden.

Every one has a modicum of useful intelligence,whether they know it or not. Such as who are the people giving them orders,giving them weapons training,quarter master, safety houses, money, all valuable information.

What use is a terrorist to his unit if he does not know at least one of the above. This could lead to identifying up to four people involved in the organisation. Any one of those four could be walking the streets of Washington or N.Y. plotting their next atrocity, the stakes are too high to rely on pure chance to weed these people out. We have too much to lose not to take any or all advantages.

Your point in principle is right, but lets not lose sight of what these people and their comrades are capable off, as I said before it is the proven terrorist/aggressor I would have no problems with people using modern day interrogation against.
