Torture applied correctly does work. No doubt, to a certain extent. But, what the CIA and other US intelligence use isn't torture, ala the Vietnamese. It is non damaging coercion, and it works also. It is stupid to remove these techniques from use when the stakes are so high.

It is stupid to remove these techniques from use when the stakes are so high. I am in total agreement with you. The use of means that are considered classical torture should not be used with this one caveat, only if all else fails and it is a matter of extreme national security. I would suspect with professional interrogation it would never go to that extreme. However, the individual being interrogated must think that any extreme can be used. This is part of the psychology of the interrogation.
