What's y'all's take on the new administration's views on prisoner interrogation methods?

Mr. Obama's selection of Leon Pannetta as CIA honcho makes it clear enough where they stand on extracting information from captured terrorist suspects. It seems they will curb water boarding, sleep deprivation, loud music, etc in favor of just asking real nicely.

Here's Mr. Pannetta's top interrogator in action:

'Mr. Hussein, we'd really appreciate it if you'd tell us what your fanatically extremist Muslim splinter group has in store for the filthy infidels in the United States. What's that? Why for heaven's sake no, we don't think you're a rag headed, lice infested, woman beating, camel loving idiot who can't be reasoned with, we want to embrace you and your culture. Haven't you heard? The kinder, gentler, smarter, better educated, more compassionate, and just-generally-superior-in-every-way liberals are in control now. Here, let me warm up that hot chocolate for you. Can I get you some fresh dates, yours have shriveled up a little. Now, where was I? Oh yes, if you'd be kind enough to write down the locations of your weapons caches for us... What's that? 72 virgins? Come now Mr. Hussein, for goodness sake be reasonable. Where do you expect us to find you 72 virgins?...'
