This is exactly why I'm against torture.

Detainee's Harsh Treatment Foiled No Plots

One supporting argument for invading Iraq was because of Saddam's "Crimes Against Humanity." However, this prisoner is tortured because of the CIA's speculation that he is a high level al-Qaeda operative (which proved to be false) and because he must have information on other plots (also false). All this from former employees of the last Administration.

So because of 9/11, it is ok for the US to perform torture?
