Torture: The First And Enduring Purpose

Related image
"The one thing we know about torture is that it was never designed in the first place to get at the actual truth of anything; it was designed in the darkest days of human history to produce false confessions in order to annihilate political and religious dissidents. And that is how it always works: it gets confessions regardless of their accuracy." 
Andrew Sullivan, writer (b. 10 Aug 1963)
