Research

So the US is gonna study torture techniques to evaluate their effectiveness.

An elite US interrogation unit will conduct "scientific research" to find better ways of questioning top suspected terrorists, US intelligence director Dennis Blair said Wednesday.

Update. Now I am a bad blogger. The article also says

Blair said the HIG charter required it to abide by the US Army Field Manual, which forbids abusive interrogation techniques.


Thanks to RMJ in comments for pulling this out. Personally, I find this untrustworthy. The FBI has already studied this. Effective interrogation techniques have been in place for some time.
