During the Iraq war three prisoners were waterboarded by the US. That’s it. KSM and two of his compadres.

What happened at Abu Graib was abuse of prisoners and wasn’t torture to obtain information, much less TTB info so doesn’t fall under this discussion.

I don’t see how any discussion or policies regarding torture in TTB cases would result in some crazy increase in the use of torture by the US. I don’t see that there’s anyone in the US govt that wants to torture as a usual policy.
