Anyone will confess to anything under torture. Just like during the Inquisitions where people confessed to being witches who fly on a broom.

AlterNet Bush: I Personally Authorized Torture By Staff, Think Progress Posted on January 11, 2009, Printed on January 12, 2009 http://www.alternet.org/bloggers/http://www.thinkprogress.org//119021/ In an interview with Brit Hume that aired today on Fox News Sunday, President Bush admitted that he personally authorized the torture <http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7229169.stm> of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. He said he personally asked "what tools" were available to use on him, and sought legal approval for waterboarding him: BUSH: One such person who gave us information was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. . And I'm in the Oval Office and I am told that we have captured Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the professionals believe he has information necessary to secure the country. So I ask what tools are available for us to find information from him and they gave me a list of tools, and I said are these tools deemed to be legal? And so we got legal opinions before any decision was made. Bush staunchly defended the program, saying it saved American lives -- despite interrogators' claims to the contrary <http://thinkprogress.org/2008/11/30/interrogator-torture-washpo/> . He waved away the debate over torture by saying dismissively, "Look, I understand why people can get carried away on this issue." Last year, Bush admitted that he was <http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/LawPolitics/Story?id=4635175&page=1> "aware" that his national security team met to discuss KSM's interrogation, and that he approved of the meeting. His admission today suggests Bush had a far more direct role in developing the specific torture program, which included waterboarding <http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/Investigation/story?id=1322866> , a freezing cell, and long periods of standing and stress positions (all of which have long been considered torture <http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=15886834> ). What's more, a former Pentagon intelligence analyst told Vanity Fair that "K.S.M. produced no actionable intelligence <http://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/2008/12/torture200812> "; another former CIA official, who read all the reports from KSM's interrogation, said, "90 percent of it was total f*cking bullsh*t <http://thinkprogress.org/2008/12/19/hunter-torture-works/> ."
