History shows almost all of those tortured or threatened with torture will say whatever you want them to say.
The main reason authoritarian dictators want the ability to torture is to get the innocent to confess, and to get them to withdraw their accusations against the guilty.
Sorry if you've misread my intentions in formulating and posting this pop quiz.
In this debate such are the talking points we must be prepared to answer IMOH.
