Mailbag: On Torture and Terrorism
15th Nov 2006, 01:10 GMT
Should terrorists be tortured for intelligence? Are the best counterterrorism tools from the FBI, the CIA, or the military? These are some of the issues brought up in my September 26 blog "Rambo meets Eliot Ness" which generated some interesting E-mail. The column dealt with the Pentagon's turning to organized crime investigators for help in taking on insurgents overseas. Several folks responded sharply to my comments about how the best crime investigators don't use torture and that there's a lesson there for CIA and military interrogators.
