Proof? And I don't mean Dick Cheney's assertions.

Pretty much all that I've heard in recent reports, now that much of the Bush era people and memos are coming out and speaking up, are saying that torture wasn't needed, and that we were getting information without torture. Not to mention, much like regular physical torture, they all seem to say that "enhanced techniques" don't get you the facts, it just forces the one being abused to tell you what you want to hear.
