“The more interesting question is whether information extracted through the use of torture is reliable. If I was submitted to waterboarding, I would probably admit to the murder of JFK, if that’s what I thought “they” wanted to hear. Just to make it stop. And I promise: I did not kill JFK.”

It really depends on the kind of information that you are looking for … obviously if you posed the JFK question they would confess to it as would anyone. But what if you pose another kind of question that is instantly verifiable like… asking for a password to encryped information found on a computer… asking for the location of a bomb factory. You just make the point that enhanced interrogation works and they would provide the information requested.
