Ezra defends Andrew Sullivan by way of an actual real world example of interrogation techniques that work, as opposed to the Reuel Marc Gerecht fantasy created whole cloth from episodes of 24. Important points to note:
- Torture and abuse at Gitmo and Abu Ghraib was a prime motivating factor in recruiting terrroists.
- American lives were lost because of the policy.
- Torture does not work.
