Can you prove that using C) wouldn't work? At least better then using torture did? Which you btw tried and can now look back on, as for example Ali Soufani, the former FBI agent did in his book Black Banners.

C) doesn't work period. That would be like saying to my 4 year old, "Hey if I let you gulp down this 2 liter of Mountain Dew will you go to sleep for daddy?"
What Ali Soufani is talking about is 'turning' someone. And futhermore he was talking of experience with turning lightweight wannabes. That is possible with a nare few and never possible with true believer extremists. Unfortunately the true believer extremists are the ones that were in deeper, were trusted and have all the good information.
As for 'torture' hmm if you wanna call it that go right ahead. We could do much worse to them. And I wouldnt bat an eyelash, not for people that want to commit genocide.
You're taking a dump and they call GQ do you pinch it off or finish your business? -

Torture is disturbing, even if you feel it's justified. I'm glad it was depicted this way in instead of some watered down pg-13 bs. Our country has done some messed up stuff in the name of safety and security, I don't think it should be glossed over.

Did they have to be so graphic and disturbing?
They had to, yes, because otherwise, some people might have complained the movie was glorifying torture oh wait didn't work.
So I guess they had to be graphic so that people didn't think they were justified in oh wait, never mind.
Seriously though, yes they had to. They were not meant to justify torture. They were meant to show the impact they had on everyone in the room, including the "interrogators".
