Torture is Not a Policy...


 


We knew this, but now it's official. From The Jawa Report:
1. There was no policy that condoned torture.

2. There was no policy that encouraged abuse.

3. There was a lot of inconsistency across interrogation techniques. Many of those techniques were developed in the combat theater and migrated to other areas.

4. There was a general lack of military command guidance in dealing with the CIA. [Church] found 30 ghost detainees. One such detainee was in that status for 45 days.

5. There were missed interrogation opportunities in part because the military failed to take account of lessons from prior conflicts.

6. There was no guidance to CENTCOM or by CENTCOM on interrogations.

Now go read the rest from The Jawa Report. Think the MSM will now write front page, above the fold, stories about how they were wrong, again. Don't hold your breath.

Update: Michelle Malkin has more.
