Worse than waterboarding

It's pure torture I tell you and the scientific community is united in that fact.
Lately they cling to a book authored by Jane Mayer who writes for the New Yorker.

Here's James Taranto's take on that...
To sum up: The New York Times reports that a new book reports that unnamed sources reported to the author that a report exists that says terrorists reported being tortured.
That is, not only are we being asked to take the word of terrorists--whose training material instructs them to claim they have been tortured--but we are being asked to trust terrorists' claims that are reaching us fifth-hand (or fourth-hand if you spend $27.50 for the book). It's a big game of telephone.
And we thought the New York Times was against listening to terrorists' phone conversations.
