Physicians should be banned from participating in any form of torture. Physicians are people trained to help sick people. They should not be involved in harming or killing people.
If anyone agrees with torture, I will assume that they are ready to be tortured with every and any procedure developed by the CIA. Can anyone even imagine what it would feel like to be waterboarded up to 200 times? And I am certain that cannot be the only thing done to prisoners.
Meanwhile, people are talking about technicalities about memos and who wrote them. The whole system needs to be investigated for legal violations, based on US law and all international treaties the US has signed.
All this crap boils down to one thing. The real reason they do this is simply to try and convince the victim that they are under total control of the people doing the torture. It is a sadistic and childish game. An atrocity committed under the name of liberty and justice.

Half of the time torture is only a power game. I mean, how useful is information from torture? It's either confessed just to stop the torture, or information that is already considered to be compromised by whoever shares the information (hence outdated).
There are better ways to find information. And torture isn't going to help "war on terror" as they loose their moral ground.
well, there was an overflow of information to 9/11 attacks. The problem is what they make of it, how effective they are at processing and how many translators they have.
If the "prisoners" were tried under US law in US courts, then none of this debate would go on. The problem is that the CIA and the military is involved, which allows them to hide so many atrocities.
Prisoners only have to endure a short time before their gang knows they got captured.
The way these agents and experts are created to do this without any moral consideration, guilt, remorse or attempt to recourse shows us the extent of the "training" or brainwashing they go through. So much, indeed, that the evidence may prevent them from any immunity should they be charged for their crimes. (Soldiers used to be able to get away by saying that they were merely following orders.)
