No, but if I was in captivity, I would be a lot less willing to sing if I new the extent of what I would have to endure, then if I didn't.

It's a lot bigger picture than just al qaeda and comes down to a debate on whether tortute is morally justified in order to extract what is believed to be important information. I now know you're a utilitarian, so I certainly understand where you're coming from. But international rules against torture don't benefit only our enemies.
I'm not arguing (here) for torture. I am arguing for the secrecy of our tactics.

(also, is "al qaeda" a GC signatory? If not, can't we wack off heads just like they do?)
No and legally yes.
