Numerous credible accounts have been published detailing the way our government has literally grabbed people off sidewalks or out of buildings, holding them in Guantanamo Bay or in secret prisons around the world without recourse to due process or habeas corpus. While in American custody, these suspects — many of whom have been subsequently found to be innocent — have R3R YEARS! been subject to "aggressive interrogation techniques" that violate both the Geneva Conventions and any meaningful moral code and have, on occasion, resulted in death. These techniques include prolonged sleep dep- rivation, "cold cells" and most egregiously waterboard- ing, which creates the sensation that the subject is drowning. If you're ambivalent about whether these interroga- tion techniques amount to "torture," ask yourself: If they were applied to an American prisoner of war, would you be outraged? But in addition to being immoral, these actions are ineffective. As more than one military official has stepped forward to say, torture is very effective at yielding the response the torturer is seeking — whether or not that response is truthful, accurate or meaningful. Five years after the Twin Towers fell, wo still have lim- ited understanding of the operations of al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden remains unaccounted for. Those facts point to America's failure to collect real intelligence about our terrorist enemies. So: for five years, our government has pursued immoral, even criminal policies to no good end. That's a disheartening thought.
