Hillary Clinton: We have to be smarter about how we interrogate
In a appearance today on the program The VIEW, Democratic presidential front runner Hillary Clinton layed out her opposition to the use of what the CIA called, "enhanced interrogation techniques."
"I think it's really important for the United States to make it absolutely clear that as a policy we don't conduct or condone torture," Clinton said, to audience applause.
Clinton lamented what she views to be the United States loss of moral authority on the world stage and cast doubt on the value of intelligence gathered using such harsh tactics.
"We also have to be smarter about how we interrogate," the New York Senator said. "There's a lot of evidence that says you don't get accurate, good information from extreme measures."
Instead, Clinton proposed a return to the incentive-based system used by US interrogators throughout the 20th century, seemingly abandoned in the current era.
