What does the CIA gain by lying about using torture?

I said they are liars. I did not say they are lying about using torture.

A little reminder of what the AlQaiduck do.
"Torture" also encompasses using mental unbalancing actions to break the prisoners will to resist.
You give hope, then take it away.
You don't even have to touch the guy, you just break down his mental resistance.
And that is termed "torture".
Just a little compare and contrast.
