Terror Threat May Have Been Thwarted by Torture

Boy, the libs are going to have their knickers in a knot over this (h/t Michelle Malkin):

Reports from Pakistan suggest that much of the intelligence that led to the raids came from that country and that some of it may have been obtained in ways entirely unacceptable here. In particular Rashid Rauf, a British citizen said to be a prime source of information leading to last week's arrests, has been held without access to full consular or legal assistance. Disturbing reports in Pakistani papers that he had "broken" under interrogation have been echoed by local human rights bodies. The Guardian has quoted one, Asma Jehangir, of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, who has no doubt about the meaning of broken. "I don't deduce, I know - torture," she said. "There is simply no doubt about that, no doubt at all."

And we're not just talking putting women's underwear on his head, which is how the Dems describe torture. The Pakistani law enforcement types are not known for their compassion.

The excerpt describes "disturbing reports". Who's disturbed? How many people were saved because this plot was broken? Some estimates had the total number or potential victims at somewhere over 3,500. Is it worth torturing one guy to save 3,500?

It's okay by me.
