CIA Interrogations

I am all for tough interrogation techniques. Today, a report is suspected to made public that details abuse and "questionable" interrogation techniques within CIA prisons. Allegedly, the CIA used a gun and electric drill to scare a suspected terrorist into giving up information. I want to know if it worked. Terrorists will stop at nothing when it comes to harming the United States and their citizens. Obtaining information from these extremists is a very important step in stopping them from carrying out more attacks. If the CIA needs to scare the prisoner in an attempt to make him talk, I say do it! What's the point in even interrogating a known terrorist if you're not willing to use advanced interrogation techniques? Do you think these guys are just going to roll over and say "Well, I've been caught so I have to do what they say now". Hell no! If their hands are not forced, I'm willing to bet they just sit there silently. These terrorists are not dumb people and they've been trained and brainwashed to hate the US and its Allies. They're not going to willingly give up information that will aid their enemies.

While some people may focus on the interrogation methods when this report is released, I'll be wondering how well it worked. I'll be wondering how many lives were saved based on the information that was obtained. I'll be wondering how much the US has learned about the inner workings and dealings of terrorist organizations. That's the part I'll focus on.
