Nope...anything someone says under torture is not credible...but then again, is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's confession credible for the US government?

I am not sure about British doctrine but US doctrine is that people being held by a government which we are not involved in active hostilities with are to 'confess' to anything that will speed their return home.

Ah, torture. Credibility. Heard about this somewhere else.

Only to the people who do the interrogation, it wouldn't hold up internationally.
