What do you do instead?

[nancylebov]

Over at The Teeming Brain, I was starting to reply to a post which was anti-torture, but had the unhappy question: "What do you do instead?" when I realized that I'd seen general descriptions of no-torture careful interrogation by professionials like pecunium, but I didn't have a clear idea of the method myself, and I couldn't find a good link for it either.

Any recommendations?

Whenever I encounter other arguments in favor of torture, I keep this comment (http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/007974.html#142336) of pecunium's as a touchstone, mainly because of the books he mentions, and his own Google search on his name leading to other areas where he's posted on the topic. Hope this helps.

I'd sort of forgotten that post (lost in the background noise of the campaign, one small skirmish of many).

I was pissed, just this side of incoherent. I ought to bookmark it, so I can use it to point people at when they want links.

The funny thing is, I was talking with Steven Barnes about this last night. I think I'll send him this link.

Thanks.
