Should civilized nations use "Enhanced Interrogation" techni

[--Pete]

Hi,

If chess was about trying to predict what the other player will do, there would be more literature on how to do this.

You say that chess is not about playing your opponent and poker is. Then I ask you, why are almost all the books on poker about how to play your cards? Could it be that, in both poker and chess, playing your cards or pieces is easy to explain, how to play your opponent is hard to teach, so people write the books they can.

Otherwise you wouldn't be arguing in what situations civilized nations could be allowed to use 'Enhanced Interrogation' techniques, but wondering *why* they actually do so.

Either link to a post in this thread were I supported torture in any way (other than my sarcastic comment about crucifixion and spammers) or go take a reading comprehension class before your next post.
