OK. Tell them to us. Not generalizations like you already did, but specific examples. Bear in mind that "the chance of receiving reliable information is minuscule" is a meaningless statement. Since torture is known to extract unreliable information, even if the person you torture gives you reliable information, you won't know that it's reliable.
I'm especially interested to know when you think torture would be /moral/ and why.
