How do you feel when you are unable to speak up for yourself? The CIA staff currently going through judicial hell at the hands of Barack Obama's minions are exactly in that situation. They are bound by dozens of agreements and rules that prevent them from telling the truth about their interrogation techniques.
Enter Mark Thiessen. When given access to all the first-hand information necessary to establish the truth he put it into a captivating book: "Courting Disaster". If the Democrats can let the cat out of the bag by revealing all techniques and telling lies, Thiessen churns out the facts that dismantle every myth we've been led to believe in.
His arguments defining torture (and why the CIA methods aren't that) are extremely compelling. Limits on what can be done to the prisoner, the efforts to fake the effect and feeling of what would otherwise be torture and the achievements of the CIA's counter-terrorism unit all testify to how the United States agencies have never tarnished their record.
Today the enemy knows our tricks. We have to outsource interrogation to countries which employ the darkest methods. The information flow has slowed to a trickle, all because the liberals wanted to feel good about themselves. Such folly for so little.
