thats not true. even people with information will at times lie- either mixing truth with lies or being smart enough to give false info very quickly.
and think about everytime we do torture an innocent person- there is no fixing that and we get lots of bad info.
and what happens when someone with infomation tells it all and we keep torturing for more?
they will start making stuff up.
torture doesn't work and is ethically reprehensible.

They go to EVERY possible length to save themselves and bring their sense of world back to them

they lie. plain and simple.
back during the witch hunts they'd show people the tools they used for torture and they wouldn't even have to use them. people would just start lying.
torture provides us with no valuable assests and has far too many negative points to ever be considered a useful tool.
