I apologize if it was not clear in my last message. But Dan asked: >One needs to ask why our armed services changed >procedures and techniques that had worked so well for decades.
And I pointed out that a reasonable person could argue that our intelligence and interrogation procedures had not worked well for decades. The above statement should in no way be taken to mean that I agree with the interrogation policies conducted at Abu Gharaib. In fact, I categorically denounce them. I was simply pointing out that something was clear to me that was apparently unclear to Dan. JDG
