That waterboarding was designed for forcing people
to make false confessions, rather than to give
accurate information, is very well documented.  No
need to "study" interrogation techniques to find
that out.  (Does it come as a surprise to you?)

Sure, but that can take time.  All I'm saying is
that waterboarding isn't somehow miraculously
guaranteed to provide accurate information.

If you actually don't *know* the information
they're trying to get, and you're afraid you'll
be waterboarded again if you don't tell them
*something*, you're going to make it up.

Including *but not limited to*.  That's the point.

Of course.  I'm not sure what your point is.
