A) Experience has shown that torture is an effective information-getting device since one case alone I've cited twice.
B) What statistic??
C) Even if 70% of those in jail have no knowledge, stress isn't applied to everyone and anyone. And were it applied to 100, where 50 people might know, and one person tells you that there is a suicide murderer attacking a building filled with people, then maybe 300+ people might live.
