The overwhelming evidence is that actually engaging with a subject gets better intel than trying to beat it out of them.

Torture is never about getting intel.

Is about causing pain to someone they hate, and at most about getting a confession no matter if true or false.

But what's the fun in that?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Usually, the phrase goes, "but where's the fun in that?". Just FYI, in case you care.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but who is the fun in that?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sure, but when is the fun in that?
