Should civilized nations use "Enhanced Interrogation" techni

[kandrathe]

This is just fantasy, I'm sorry.

Not really, but I'm not able to point you to resources on torture resistance techniques on the web.

As you rightly point out, it's not like this is a line the CIA has never crossed before.

Yes, the danger here is that this becomes more ubiquitous. First in interrogating enemy combatants, and alien insurgents, then later it would be allowed on anyone suspected of terrorism activities (citizen or not), and finally any prisoner. Also, I would suspect that as it became more widespread, the gamut of approved techniques would also expand until we found ourselves back in the dungeons of medieval Europe.
