Some serious BS here from Levin. First off, the claim that the tactics lead to "unreliable intelligence" is utterly and decisively contradicted from multiple directions, including Levin's fellow Democrat, the head of the CIA, Leon Panetta who released a memo saying that the coercive tactics had resulted in a disproportionate percentage of the "high value intelligence" that the CIA had in its possession after 9/11. It's also contradicted by what we know of the KSM interrogations and subsequent confirmed intelligence.

So object on principle, if you feel obliged, to the violence of coercive tactics - that's legitimate. But stop with the asinine claims that they don't ever generate actionable, reliable intelligence. That's a distortion, and a dangerous one.
