...such interrogation tactics are legally questionable, are they at least useful? Is there any reason to believe that discomfort, nudity and sexual humiliation actually persuade men to share secrets...
...employing sensational stories in their report or using ridiculous rhetoric to gain support for their cause. But the issue is not the BGLTSA’s methods of bringing attention to this problem; rather, the fact remains that there are some in the Harvard community that experience extreme discomfort and pressure when going to the bathroom.

But for Blair, Britain and the E.U., the referendum is no joke. By championing a cause many in his own party consider unwinnable, Blair is risking his premiership - a humiliating rout could drive him from office. His about-face not only...
