Who else sat jaw agape listening to Ron Suskind (author of "The One Percent Solution") Wednesday night on Rachel's show? Video is below.

Ron and Rachel were practically biting their lips at the end of the segment, it seemed to me, to keep from going too far.

But I don't mind going all the way. Here's what has finally fallen together for me:

1. Torture is known to give bad information. It's been used for millennia. The USA has never tried to justify it - till now.

2. Torture DOES force prisoners to say what their torturers WANT TO HEAR. It is used to elicit false confessions. It's always been so.

3. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld were desperate to link Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein to justify the war the Bush needed to give him BIG BALLS.

4. Cheney keeps saying "torture gives good information". He's lying and he knows he's lying!

THIS REGIME USED TORTURE KNOWINGLY TO ELICIT FALSE CONFESSIONS TO JUSTIFY BUSH'S WAR!

Torture gives good info sometimes, They were obligated to leave no stone unturned.

They believed there was an Iraq-Al Qaeda connection, and maybe torture would bring out the truth if other interrogation techniques wouldn't work.

They knew there was no Iraq-Al Qaeda connection. The only way to get what they wanted was to torture people into saying what they wanted to hear.
