Torture is one of the worst ways to interrogate a prisoner. It doesn't work. The police in Chicago did it constantly and all they did was implicate innocent people or give out false data. The same thing happened in the war on terror. They confess under coercion and gave us false info.

Torture is done by socialists and stuff

Nonsense. You have no idea what you're talking about.

The information they gained, and what kinds of interrogation techniques were used -- and even in what countries they were used or who did the interrogations -- are NOT known, nor are they ever likely to be. They certainly aren't known to any "journalists" who have reported the crap you're spewing.

Read this book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005GG0KJ4/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 It's written by the man who would know. He reveals NOTHING even remotely resembling what you've typed, and suggests quite the opposite.

Are you an interrogator? I am. Coercive methods do work. Waterboarding DOES WORK. In fact, waterboarding is the only technique I know of, where I will tell you beforehand what technique I am going to use, and I get what I want. Period.

Please don't portend to speak for the interrogators. We are a small community and we discuss these issues ad nauseam much like doctors talk about procedures, and lawyers talk about law.

It depends on the information that you are trying to get. One rule of interrogation is to never ask a question whose answer you cannot verify. The classic example is the "ticking bomb" scenario -- if the subject tells you where the bomb is before it goes off, and when you go and look, the bomb is there, then you have conducted a successful interrogation.
