The overwhelming evidence is that actually engaging with a subject gets better intel than trying to beat it out of them.

Torture is never about getting intel.

Is about causing pain to someone they hate, and at most about getting a confession no matter if true or false.

But what's the fun in that?

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 24 points 4 months ago

Usually, the phrase goes, "but where's the fun in that?". Just FYI, in case you care.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 41 points 4 months ago

Yeah, but who is the fun in that?

[-] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 4 months ago

Sure, but when is the fun in that?
