I think the Abu Gharib crew were doing it not for any info but for fun. After all, they are the enemy and had fun with their captives? What was that about the golden rule again?

In any case, KS isn't really going to be able to do much. Window dressing, maybe. Look at some of the threads we have. Take the child abuse ones. We have people wanting to do all sorts of things to the perps. It is not for any real value other than plain revenge. It has nothing to do with 24. The urge to have fun via torturing enemies is already in us. The information is just an excuse. Now, if this were some enemy you just captured, I can understand. However, many of the people in AG have been there for a while and any info they have is probably so old that it is worthless. Yes, the enemy WAS in that house? What of it? Miss them by 5 mins is a miss. In any case, were those people in AG really interrogating them or just having fun? I think the latter.
