Torture Doesn't Work say Former Interrogators, Psychologists

In my effort to find an article about the psychology of interrogation I stumbled upon this article from 2006. A group of psychologists and former interrogators came to the conclusion that torture is ineffective at best and dangerous at worst. The group stated that in an effort to stop the pain of torture an innocent would make something up and someone trained to resist torture would twist the facts leaving you with false information to act on. Further they pointed out that the "Ticking Time Bomb" scenario in which a terrorist who knows the location of a bomb is tortured to get that information in time. The group points out that the terrorist only has to resist until the bomb goes off and further they state "Moreover, the torture would offer the terrorist a prime opportunity to deceive interrogators by falsely naming bomb locations of difficult access."
