Wikiquote:Quote of the day/August 10, 2010

From Wikiquote
  The one thing we know about torture is that it was never designed in the first place to get at the actual truth of anything; it was designed in the darkest days of human history to produce false confessions in order to annihilate political and religious dissidents. And that is how it always works: it gets confessions regardless of their accuracy.

~ Andrew Sullivan ~
