big fucking deal. why would that be different if he wasn't being pressured? you think he would just open up his heart and soul? how is this different from every other day in the CIA/FBI? you think intelligence is a perfect world full of perfect information?
exceptions to the rule, do not disprove the rule itself.
how much actionable intelligence was acquired? you don't know. how effective on the whole have these programs been? you don't know.. how many lives were saved as a result of these techniques? you don't know. how many terrorist plots were disrupted and prevented as a result of these techniques? you don't know.
how many attacks have there been in the USA post 911 - we know. ZERO
