Linked in this very thread is an opinion piece by one of the first FBI agents to interrogate Al Qaeda suspects, and he is saying that they were talking before torture was applied. He even said that the FBI specialist on Khalid Sheik Mohamed was kept from his interrogation sessions because of the torture.
Also linked here is the fact that the CIA agents in the room themselves resisted torture, and that higher ups in Langley and DC pushed for torture despite their resistance.
Also linked in this thread is the fact that the military itself resisted it.
Finally, it is also linked that the key issue these higher ups thousands of miles away from the torture rooms were concerned with was finding a link between Al Qaeda and Iraq.
