P.S. Interrogation techniques can and often should be classified. That said -- the idea that interrogators make false threats is sort of like the idea that police will lie to you in interrogation -- no big surprise, and I don't see the justification for classifying THAT technique.
Arrests and coercion of innocent people should surely be actionable -- not to say he should collect, or how much, but he should not be thrown out of Court. That's the quickest way to allow society to moderate the inevitable excesses.
P.P.S. We should apologize to the innocent Canadian we shipped to Syria to get his balls electroshocked. Yes, Canadian intelligence made the initial false identification as a "terrorist" [and have since paid him about $10mm I think] but for god's sakes we should at least say: "Sorry about your 'nads, Dude."
