Did I miss something in that stat?
While that stat is most likely accurate, I'd be pretty surprised if we were interrogating folks who had no real way of knowing anything.

I'm talking out my ass on that one, but it would seem reasonable.

Sometimes the US military isn't always completely reasonable.

Still, the NY Times did that big article decrying some of the techniques that were used to interrogate individuals that helped plan 9/11. Yep, we made life pretty miserable for them.

They killed 3000 people.

They have a long way to go before there's any kind of justice -- is justice even possible for these people?

Again, where was the outrage when US soldiers were tortured, killed and had their mutilated bodies put on display?
