If torture didn’t work, it wouldn’t have been used for thousands of years. Wasn’t it widely supported that one of the terrorist bosses cracked after 30 seconds of waterboarding and gave up vital intelligence? In the military we were told that virtually everyone gives up information at some point and we were expected to hold out as long as possible. Our interrogation techniques may induce great discomfort, confusion, exhaustion or instill extreme fear, if necessary. I have yet to hear of an example where our interrogators used real, over-the-top inhumanity (normal people know the difference). That torture doesn’t work is just another liberal assertion that tries to pass as fact these days.
