Quote: theory9 said: I don't have an issue with torture, persay, but its primary problem is the unreliability of the information obtained. If you're sticking hot pins under someone's fingernails for a few hours, I'm sure they'll shower you with stories of how did anything vile you want to know about--whether its true or not. But most intelligence agencies--including Mossad, who are frankly artists when it comes to torture--will tell that the info obtained often doesn't pan out.
First of all, you have the morals of a hungry crocodile. That said, do you really think someone that is willing to strap tnt on their body and detonate it in a crowd will respond to needles under their fingernails?
A coward is willing to die instantly. A person straps bombs to their body. Get the picture? And what do you mean by "morals of a hungry crocodile"?
