It has been reported that, according to the FBI and others, the people who were being tortured actually gave more information prior to their being tortured than after it commenced - that the suspects clammed up after the torture started, and then started cooperating again after it stopped.

It has also been reported that the Obama administration is thinking that, now that Cheney has demanded the release of all of the classified records, it might be a good idea to do just that. And some are saying that what is contained in the records that have not yet been released is even more damning than what is contained in the ones that have been released. The person reporting said that if those records are released, things are going to look even worse for Cheney than they do now.
