tw, your security clearance must be stratospheric for you to not only know which terrorist threats were real and which were imagined, but to know from what source we got the information, and how many of our prisoners were being held without merit.

I buy the "torture only yields lies" theory though. Still, what's a viable alternative for day-to-day field intelligence in a war zone?

I like BC...I've been reading it since I was in the sixth grade, and that was a very long time ago...

I do note that it has trended in a decidedly more religious direction over the years, though. Mostly, it remains secular, and at least somewhat amusing.

Wow. Did you realize that your question assumes that torture is the current method for day-to-day field intelligence in a war zone?

I said "torture" to appease those who would've played word games with me when I said "interrogation". The techniques I refer to range anywhere from having friendly conversations with people in the street to bitch-slapping the turban off of someone who hangs the charred corpses of our soldiers from bridges.

but your link did provide me with the most surreal experience of my day
