This Is Really What Torture Is All About, Isn't It?

Getting the "answer" we "want":

The Bush administration based a crucial prewar assertion about ties between Iraq and Al Qaeda on detailed statements made by a prisoner while in Egyptian custody who later said he had fabricated them to escape harsh treatment, according to current and former government officials.

The officials said the captive, Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, provided his most specific and elaborate accounts about ties between Iraq and Al Qaeda only after he was secretly handed over to Egypt by the United States in January 2002, in a process known as rendition.

Does anyone want to bet Khalid Sheikh Mohammed strongly agreed to the official 9/11 story after he was "interrogated"?
