We have many ways
We are supposed to be on heightened alert today against terrorist attack, according to U.S. officials who claim to have gathered “intelligence” from the prisoners taken in Afghanistan. What they don’t say, is whether the information was extracted under torture. FBI officials are on record as having discussed illegal interrogation techniques, i.e., torture, or moving suspects to countries where torture is permitted. The veil of official secrecy prevents us from having more than suspicions, at this point. (Do YOU think our government is too principled to torture a suspect?)
