And up until the Democrat/Left revealed these techniques, we never needed to torture prisoners. Al Qaida prisoners talked because they didn't know what they were facing in interrogation, and were compelled to disclose because of what MIGHT be done to them, the unknown threat, rather than what was actually done to them. But now these prisoners basically have the manual on what they will be subjected to (again: Thank you, treasonous Democrats!) and no longer have fear of being interrogated. Democrats and the liberal media have handed them our playbook. ...
I'm not sure how it's rational to blame democrats in that way. The torture had to have started before it was exposed. Trying to argue that it started because dems exposed it just doesn't make sense.
And again the report details what information the CIA had before resorting to torture. Yes they claim they got vital information but when you actually examine what they got it turns out they got some repeat information they already knew. On top of that they discount the misinformation that resulted from their torture and any wasted time following dead ends.
