Anti-torture argument from a qualified source

This returned soldier makes the case against "enhanced" interrogation techniques. One wonders how widespread his view is in the military. His case for the traditional methods based on building rapport seems strong in the case of the Sunni fighters. His argument that Abu Ghraib has cost as many lives as 9/11seems somewhat overdrawn and, moreover, implies that the real problem was not the abuses, which afterall, were being dealt with and prosecuted before they became generally known, but the publication of the photographs. At the very least it suggests that the military's concern with what information gets out might be motivated by legitimate concerns.
