Edward Teller: It probably was a big strategic mistake that the CIA started torturing everybody they arrested. Because the rule of the biblical Old Testament, an eye for an eye, a torture for a torture, is held in high esteem in the Middle East. As long as the CIA just assassinated their targets, the Muslim extremists in Egypt would just do the same. Shoot tourists. But now, tourists to Egypt have to fear to be tortured without end, just as the CIA does with the Muslims they kidnap. Now which stupid tourists will go to Egypt and risk torture? The pyramids aren't worth it.

Edward Teller: Det var antagelig en stor strategisk feil At CIA begynte å torturere alle de ønsker arrestert. Fordi styret til den bibelske gamle testamente, er en øye for øye, en tortur for tortur, holdt i høy aktelse i Midtøsten. Så lenge CIA nettopp myrdet sine mål, ville den muslimske ekstremister i Egypt bare gjøre det samme. Skyt Turister. Men nå, turister til Egypt har å frykte å bli torturert uten ende, akkurat som CIA gjør med muslimene de vil kidnappe. Som fra nå av dumme turister dra til Egypt og risikerer tortur? Pyramidene er ikke verdt det.
