Interrogating Prisoners & Gitmo.

One common clichè regarding Gitmo is how information given under torture is unreliable. Well yeah, and so is all other information these creeps give.

These guys are not going to get the soft cushion prodding and then all of a sudden tell everything they know. They are going to try to lie. When they think they may be telling the truth they may be giving up obsolete information or information that is just wrong (perhaps their superiors gave them faulty information on purpose). Interrogators understand all of this and when a guy says "Osama Bin Laden is hiding out in The Frontier Tavern in Conover Wisconsin" they are not going to drop everything they are doing to go to the Frontier. They are going to treat that info as a puzzle piece. Eventually the big picture becomes clear and we know which pieces do and do not belong the puzzle being put together.

This of course says nothing about the limbo bar of the torture definition.
