Why do some people say "Torture doesn't work"?

Sure it does.

Evidence below.

Anyone see the recent movie "Anthropoid". I won't get into my personal review of the movie... lame BTW...

But it's a real piece of history. So these Brit Special Force guys (native Czechs) are staying in this safe house in Prague. The safe house has a teenage son who lives there with his mum. After the assassins kill Heydrich the Gestapo arrests the son.

So they take him to the SS HQ, probably at Prague Castle and beat the hell out of him. He keeps his composure and tells the Germans he doesn't know the whereabouts of the assassins. So the Germans get him all liquored up and then show him an aquarium with his mums head floating inside. He cracks and tells the Germans where the assassins are hiding.

Torture works.

Is it ethical, moral, decent or right? Probably not.

But the next time a DUmmie claims that torture doesn't work, smack them.

The functional concern is that the tortured would tell the interrogator whatever they thought the interrogator wanted to hear, true or not. Use of torture would produce lots of mixed information, true and false, but that gives interrogators and analysts a lot more to work with than an untortured silent prisoner offers...
