45. But in fact, torture is not a reliable means of extracting information
As the real experts on the subject will tell you.

Remember the middle ages? Remember the Inquisition and the witch hunts? People who were tortured would say anything, make up any crazy story about screwing Satan and causing crops to fail and eating Christian babies or whatever simply to make the pain stop. They implicated other innocents, and more and more people were tortured and then executed.

TORTURE DOESN'T WORK.

In addition to being utterly immoral and illegal.
