As important, how do you know that the information is correct. Or that the perp is only telling you what you want to hear? Or that he is lying to further his ends? The fact is that you do not. Its well established that torture doesn't work all that well, 24 and Fox notwithstanding. Both historical records, ie., POW evidence from Vietnam and Korea for instance and more recent data have shown than most information extracted by torture is more than a bit suspect. What usually happens is that the person simply tells what the torturer wants to hear. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:285940 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
