With that said, the information in the book is still important to review. In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, and the uncertainty of the times, those in charge took the approach that they needed to determine if other attacks were being planned. Sometimes, and too often if you read this book, lines were crossed in trying to obtain intelligence from captives. Those in charge maintain that the "enhanced interrogation techniques" did not constitute "torture", and that the methods used produced important intelligence which prevented other attacks. This book shows the flaws in that argument.
Personally, I think Ali Soufan's book, "The Black Banners: The Inside Story of 9/11 and the War Against Al-Qaeda" is a much more readable book detailing the failings of torture, but both books come to the same conclusion, i.e., we got no actionable intelligence by means of torture, and that the conventional interrogation methods are not just more humane, but also more effective.
