I listened to Mc Cain recently...his contention is that these techniques in general don't work because they result in the subject telling the interrogators what he thinks they want to hear in order to make them stop...to that I would say ...YES....what they want to hear may in fact be what they want to know...once they are told what they want to hear or know, they can then go about determining how truthful the information is...which is likely much more information than would have been gotten otherwise....and ultimately...it's been shown that we treat the wolves much better than they treat the sheep in nearly every case
