But how valuable is any of that considering there are others ways of getting the info. I can sit back a mile away and tell you where the fuel depo is, so is it worth being tortured over? The guy I saw thought it wasn't worth it. There is value in all intel. However, most basic intel can be had through so many different means that it's not worth getting our guys, you guys tortured over. There are exceptions but the real important stuff is handled by those who are not as likely to be captured and if they are I am sure they have a different set of orders pertaining to the data they have.
