    How SHOULD we get information from enemies?

    OK, the APA and Salon are clear on what they're against in getting information, now how about someone addressing how the military, CIA, etc. should get information from a detainee. There really are people out there who want to kill us, and who will happily blow up anyone they consider an infidel. The two attacks on the WTC happened, so did the bombing of the Madrid train station and London subways just to name a few. So, how do we ethically interrogate someone in a way likely to obtain information that could prevent another terrorist attack?
