| Message | Mr. Speaker, It is the common experience of the nations of the world that most of the information gathered by torture do not tend to be accurate, and often the torture victim will say whatever the torturers want to hear, or they will deliberately lie to mislead the torturers. I yield. |

| Random quote: "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, from those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children." - Dwight D. Eisenhower |
