That is sometimes true for lower level terrorists who are only on a need-to-know basis. High value terrorists like KSM, Osama, and many, many others, enhanced interrogations can and do yield life-saving information.

Apparently we got "misleading" info from KSM

Even with the "misleading" intelligence reported by the media, there are many times bits of truth discovered in interrogations and/or enhanced interrogations.

You cannot take chances with people capable of pulling off 9/11, Madrid, London, etc.

In this situation, It did not lead to Osama's death. Maybe it aided, but info mostly came from Abu Ahmed.

Until then, I won't believe any side of the argument because neither side has all the facts straight on if the information the terrorists gave was helpful or not.

I am for whatever works. If it did/does work, then I won't let the bleeding heart's emotions get in the way of protecting lives.
Couldn't have said it any better...some people are saying it did help, some are saying it didn't. We will probably never know exactly how it all went down.
