If you want to point a finger at someone for being responsible for innocent folks going to jail, the jury would be a far better target than law enforcement and District Attys.
how is this relevant to anything?
The relavancy is that D.A.'s are attourneys too. Their clients are the citizens of the U.S., and they are sworn to defend us just as the public defender swears to defend his client. If the Reid method helps them do this, more power to them. If an idiot criminal waives his rights to have his attourney present during interrogation, more power to them.
You have every opportunity to later recant your confession and make the reasons known. If you were indeed forced or tricked into it your lawyer will make this known to the jury (and if not, he will probably try to make it look like this anyways).
Making such confessions inadmissable will do nothing to save the innocent, and much to save the guilty.
