Torture is amazingly stable while 2 or greater specimens supply comparable and verifiable training. And the Geneva convention (now that I point out it) is in a approach a shaggy dog tale. In WW2, the British, for occasion, knew the Germans used torture and that it labored. They sent their own spies to Germany, first feeding them fake archives, then betrayed them so as that they may well be captured and tortured. The Germans then believed the fake training that grew to become into extracted. a mix of those procedures resulted interior the fulfillment of the D-day landings. Does this propose torture grew to become into unreliable as far because of the fact the Germans have been in contact? No, it means torture gets human beings to inform what they have self belief, stable or in any different case.

Information obtained from a terrorist detainee in Saudi Arabia led to the subsequent capture of the members of a radical Islamic cell in London - just prior to their initiating their plans to blow up two commercial jets over the Atlantic.
Somehow, I seriously doubt that the terrorist in Saudi Arabia was dolling that information out during a conversation over a hot meal and a glass of wine.
Under the scrutiny of the far left idealists in this country, do you think that if the United States had detained this dirt bag, the hundreds of innocent men, women and children scheduled to fly out of London on that day would have been saved?
Consider, for a moment, that your family was scheduled to fly on one of those planes.
In answer to your question, I think it is imperative that we obtain all of the information we can from terrorists.
If some of the information isn't reliable - so what? But if some of the information is reliable, the benefits totally out way the detriments.

They are if the "torturer" knows what he is doing. You cannot resist true torture and givan a few minutes I could make you say anything. The trick is to verify the information and let the questionee understand that you will be repeating the process if they lie to you.

generally speaking they are not reliable, as most people will say anything if it stops their discomfort.
