Why does the United States use torture?

    

Poll question:

Why do you think the United States has turned to the systematic use of torture in the "war on terrorism", in violation of the Geneva Convention?

Answer: Because torturing suspects yields:

 

 

evidence that can later be verified as to its veracity (as being either true or false).
evidence that can later be used as propaganda, regardless of its veracity.
a deterrent effect by inspiring fear throughout the terrorist community.
