Questions about Torture

I have been told that when we interrogated the japanese in WWII, the model was much more along the lines of appearing to befriend prisoners with the hope of winning thier trust. A study in the UK showed that torture-lite
and more humane behavior, each studied separately, yielded the same amount of information. Bill Clinton said recently
that when you put people in pain they are more likely to agree to whatever the accusation is, so the torture will stop.
