So, I remember perusing a report of the Congressional Select Committee on the efficacy of torture in obtain vital intelligence. It has asserted that torture not anymore effective at obtaining intelligence than other softer methods.
When taken in with other scientific research on the matter, it truly debunks the enhances modern torture methods as a means to get actionable information. Yet it is still used widely across the world. Why do you think that is? Is it likely that we will move beyond accepting torture as a viable means of information gathering?
