Maybe, maybe not. I think sitting in an isolation cell all by yourself for a few days would be powerful inducement, honestly. So would threat of trial and execution. Talk and maybe you can go home is perfectly fair game.

Bringing people’s families in to it is immoral and sets a very frightening precedent.

What do you think the American POWs in North Viet Nam were exposed to? An isolation cell for a few days will coerce information ? That’s a joke! Many of the POWs were isolated for months!
I guess you would have wanted some of our POWs to have a ” Talk and maybe you can go home”. If I remember correctly, McCain refused to talk. He could have gone home sooner.
