I don’t understand this argument. Interrogations would follow some kind of escalation procedure. Give the detainee a chance to cooperate; the truth is rewarded, disinformation is threated with escalating punishment. The speed of the escalation depends on the particulars of the threat.

So if you are resorting to illegal torture in a “ticking bomb” scenario, you will either get the truth in time, or you won’t.

Or he’ll simply string you out with tidbits of truth until the “ticking bomb” explodes.
