WARNING: Although the idea for this subject was initially stimulated by current events, the purpose of this thread is NOT to debate the morality of torture, NOT to insert political or philosophical doctrines, NOT to sneak in ideology of any kind. Its sole purpose is to discover whether torture in any or all of its forms can be relied upon to extract accurate information. Anyone who cannot stay within those guidelines should probably not participate.
Is torture of any kind a reliable way to extract accurate information? I have found it hard to get authoratative answers to that question. Most discussions focus on morality, legality, or political/military issues and either don't address the question or offer conflicting opinions.
I'm interested in getting other informed views on the subject.
