LS - it seems to me that you've arrived at a marginally more efficient way to extract information using a method that's entirely inefficient. I'm against torture because it's a shitty way to find out what you want. It's a great way to reinforce preconceived notions.
If anyone's ever studied the show trials of the late 30's USSR, you can see fantastic examples of what people will admit to under torture.
It's a useless tool, although I'll concede that certain methodologies (namely sleep deprivation) can actually produce results in some cases.
