And the 70% "statistic" came from Army Major General Taguba who wrote the initial US Army report on abuses in the Iraqi prisons. He supposedly is an expert.

DeltAlum, donkey rides are often inefficient, but sometimes they have to be used. What might be inefficient in general, might be very efficient in that specific situation. I did not say torture everyone and anyone, but every expert from intelligence to police teams will tell you that stress is used.
If I have a bomb going off in 30 minutes and I have the terrorist who planned it in my hands and he isn't talking, what do I do? I've offered him the carrot, and now it's time to use the stick.
