>It really is true that you can torture anything out of someone. The problem is that they really do say whatever it is they think you want to hear and alot of mumbo jumbo too. You can get anyone to confess to anything. That's the problem with it. Not to mention the real issue: it's not humane.

True, it isn't humane, but neither is war. These are strategies to be employed after humanity has left the room. As for the confessions, I would use this to garner intel, not confessions. The intel can be checked for validity and if it is false, you could torture the guy in front of others while telling them why!
