Torture has been proven time and again to serve little good because the person being tortured will say anything to stop the pain--BTW, it was information gained through torture that ...

made McCain talk as a POW.

...made McCain talk as a POW.

That's right! McCain and every other POW talked after torture and told their N. Vietnamese "hosts" exactly what they wanted to hear: That America was purposely targeting hospitals, schools and child care centers in its air campaign," however, it was FALSE information. The POWs even signed statements to the effect after their torturers continually prodded them with pain...But that is the problem with torture, interrogators get information they WANT to hear but it isn't exactly reliable (as with the Iraqi WMD stockpiles that were supposed to be in abundance), and it makes my point.
