It was my experience that when we acted on information that was in all likelyhood obtained by torture, that it was either spot on, or a complete wash. That would indicate to me that if a suspect had information then they gave it up at some point and if they didn't, they simply made up whatever they believed would end the pain.Of course what I am telling you is only anecdote, but I believe that if one has information that it can be extracted. The dielemma comes with knowing whether or not the suspect is the right one and actually has the information that you want.The whole reliability issue is one of having the right suspect more than the reliability of the information you get. If you have the right suspect, I believe you can trust the information that you get but if you have the wrong suspect, then everything you get will be a fabrication.
