a lot like to welcome you from the brookings institution were uris scholar and a well-known author publishedhere you are a scholar and a well-known author. has that difference caused -- i hesitate to use the word distortion -- but differences in the way that the interrogation'' may of been carried out? this administration has ramped up the use of drones to kill al qaeda leaders were might be the case that the bush administration preferred to attack -- to capture them. the obama administration does not want to be involved in interrogation that cause the bin laden operation to be a kill operation. >> thank you for having me. i would like to start with a point that elisa touched on briefly, but there's some emphasis. elisa mentioned that there are people in the human-rights community who would object to her having this debate at all. but that this is actually an important place to start. the new york times editorial after this question arose said the question of the efficacy of these techniques is an illegitimate question. and we were not allowed to discuss it at all. so i think the important p
