Torturing largely is ineffective. Even if it was effective, the scenario of saving millions of lives still wouldn't pan out.
Plain old “torture” does not yield good results. But calculated and well developed methods of interrogation do yield good results. You just took one of the tools in that developed method away, making it much more difficult for them to do their jobs.

Or they could just use the billions of dollars and high tech technology at their disposal any time they wish.

They do use it. That does not mean that you no longer need to interrogate people. The best and most reliable source of information is often that collected in that fashion.

I never said I was against interrogation. Interrogation is fine.

Torture is not.

can not change my mind , I believe it is not torture Red , I also believe it should very sparingly , like as a last resort, as for cutting someones head off it was torture until he died I listened to it over and over I Still hear the screams he was in terrible pain and scared
