yeah, until it's YOUR child that is missing and then you would want a suspect water boarded to find out what he knows. So easy to judge something you have no knowledge of.
Would you subject your own child to this sort of treatment?
If my own son were involved with the abduction of a child and refused to divulge that child's whereabouts, I would waterboard his ass myself. Believe that.
Yep, and then he would walk and never serve a day in prison. Physical coercion only works on those that are weak or innocent. The problem I have with officers that coerce confessions in an unethical manner, is that it makes it damn hard for me to prosecute. Polygraphs are not admissible, confessions given under duress are not admissible, and waterboarding is useless. Any seasoned federal agent will tell you that a good story will get info faster than anything.
TV has made us stupid.
