Thank you for being bold, I have read what I quoted carefuly, with good understanding.
What is meant by "being counterproductive in the broader campaign against al-Qaeda" is subject to interpretation. It does not certainly mean that "enhanced" interrogation techniques do not yeild results ~ information not extractable by conventional, legal, means. Your interpretaion is noted, still does not equal to robust, data based, argument against torture in general on the basis that "it does not work".
As I am not willing to repeat "my" core argument again, does not look like anyone even cares, further details are contained on earlier pages in this thread.
