Interesting read... thanks.
I have been to "Hanoi Hilton" in Hanoi. It didn't look like a very nice hotel. The French built that place and taught the "Gooks", as McCain would say, a lot about torture. The new Papillon movie (UT recommended, BTW) gives a good idea what the French would do. A few escaped from the "Hanoi Hilton" while the French were running the place. Given the extreme measures they used to escape indicates the torture they were using must have been pretty bad.
One of the more interesting POW stories is that of Admiral Jeremiah Denton who blinked in morse code the word "torture" in his propaganda video:
"If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.
"I honestly believe saying someone is a smart lawyer is damning with faint praise. The smartest people become engineers and scientists." -SU.
"Yet I still see wisdom in that which Uncle Ted posts." -creek.
GIVE 'EM HELL, BRIGHAM!

Sen McCain's book Faith of My Fathers is pretty good also.

I can't speak to what actionable Intel we get from the torture our own government has done, but it has fanned the flames against us in the Muslim world. We fight an ideological war, and the way we fight it has a direct impact on the numbers we fight against.

My brother was stationed at our Egyptian Embassy (Military Attache)when what was going on in Abu Ghraib became known. From what he says, before the Egyptian street was generally favorable to the US in Iraq - after it was totally opposed.
