Do I get the impressioin that for Teribus, so long as it is possible to find someone else with an even worse record, it doesn't really matter that much what gets done by "our side"? That's the way terrorists seek to justify what they do.

Sooner the Americans than their allies in the Northern Alliance pt the Turkish police? Of course there's always the possibility that if you don't cooperate you might be passed over to people like that for outsourced interrogation.

It's worth noting that, after months of interrogation, the three young men from Tipton did confess that they had been in a meeting with Bin Laden, after denying that thye had, and saying thy'd been in England at teh time.

Only problem was MI5 then came up with the proof that they had been telling the truth all along, until the interrogators forced a false confession out of them. How many other prisoners have confessed to similar things in the same circumstances, but without a Government behind them that is at least half-heartedly trying to make things a bit fairer?
