This assumes their goal is to get actual intel and not just politically actionable intel. Torture is a great way to make someone say whatever you want them to.

- dTal 5y agoWhy go through the whole dog and pony show of actually torturing them? Just claim they said what you want in the torture chamber. It amounts to exactly the same thing and nobody will contradict you. Honestly, I just think they like doing it.
- boomboomsubban 5y agoThough I don't disagree that much of it is just sadism, there is also some need for a paper trail. The "informant" denying they ever said anything causes more problems than them recanting what they said while tortured.
