Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Stole the Lindbergh Baby

Anne Applebaum on why torture, apart from being barbaric, is also ineffective:

Here is one thing nobody predicted back in 2003: that when the notorious KSM eventually stood before a Guantanamo Bay military tribunal and admitted responsibility not only for Sept. 11, the deadliest crime ever carried out on U.S. soil, but also for the horrific death of journalist Daniel Pearl, among some two dozen other operations, that confession would be greeted around the world with skepticism.

Add to this the one fundamental flaw of the "ticking time-bomb" theory that justified torture: Our enemies are men who gleefully immolate themselves as a war tactic. What is that compared to water-boarding or sleep deprivation? (Another reason I don't buy the moral or logistical equivalence between Gitmo and gulag: Russians don't orchestrate their own deaths. They grant the state that power over them.)
