Torture is fricking stupid because it's unreliable and causes more harm than good.

Why do you think that confessions obtained under duress can't be used? Because people make shite up to get out of those situations.

False confessions and unreliable information has been occurred in the US, not from torture, but from lengthy interrogations by LEOs, everyone has their breaking point to where they will tell you what they think you want to hear in an attempt to remove themselves from the situation you have them in.
