Right. If something has gone very wrong in interrogation, such as there isn’t time for proper interrogation, then what’s left? Nothing good, only what is necessary. And you hope for the best. Remember, many lives have to be at stake.

There is no fool proof method of obtaining information - some are better than others - one of the worst is torture.
In a scenario like that where the detainee reckons their time on this earth is short they can spin you any plausible yarn and have you scatter your forces away from the primary target.
