Tenet's stance on "Aggressive" interrogation
Cross-posted at Endtorture.net:
Former CIA Director George Tenet's memoir is already amassing criticism over the accuracy and legitimacy of its content, including the run-up to the Iraq war and controversial interrogation techniques among others.
Sen. John McCain strongly denies Tenet's claim that "aggressive" interrogation techniques have enabled the US government to "save lives", saying that such measures have led to as much misinformation as reliable intelligence, thus bolstering the argument that torture is simply not a reliable form of intelligence gathering.
