In a fight against terrorism, information is everything.
The White House attempted to draw a line under the dubious
intelligence-gathering practices of the Bush administration last week
by announcing the creation of a special interrogation group that will
use "scientifically proven means" to extract information from
detainees with links to violent extremist groups.
It also indicated it would start a research programme to compare the
effectiveness of different methods. But to what extent can science
help determine what constitutes an adequate interrogation technique?
