Torture doesn't work because, guilty or inocent, people will say anything to stop the pain.

Did you know people used to torture animals to try to get them to confess?

Needless to say, it never worked...

Very true. During the Salem witch hunts they tortured many young women in order tp 'prove' they were witches.

This is just one very small example of a corruptable system used to prove that there are demons, dealers, terrorist or insurrectionist blah bla and so forth.

It has never worked. It will never work. But ya can't tell that to those that feel torture is fun and games.
