Whats with these movies where people are withholding information despite being tortured? There is a reason the CIA keep those cyanide pills in their shoe's sole.

Religion can torture the soul, ask any suicide bomber. Oops. You can't.

Torture doesn't always work. Doesn't work on the ones that die during the process.

Torture is so American.

This is one of your most ridiculous statements to date.
Americans didn't invent torture, we borrowed it from the cultures we came from.

Pope Innocent, the Third.

Interrogation is so American. Torture is what they do.

i guess thats nthe whole idea, non-lethal interrogation

torture doesn't work... torture makes people lie. anyone will say anything under torture.
do you believe in magic?
do you know how many people confessed to practicing magic under torture in the past?

I (hopefully) don't even have to list the ethical and moral issues with it.

and even with non-lethal tactics there is still permanent internal damage and severe psychological damage as well.

Do you believe that anyone that tortures anyone is concerned about any "theory" or the morality thereof, or the state of either their mental or physical capacity after the fact? Most torture victims ends their usefulness with a slug placed behind their ear or a public display of decapitation....have you not observed any of the Islamic PR tapes? The Americans are novices. But, we are quick learners. BD
