if we just randomly torture people walking down the street chances it would be effective, on the other hand we would create thousands of disgruntled innocent people who now hate us.. perhaps you can see where this is going. so one terrorist was stopped by torture, but you may have now created 10 terrorists out of the innocent people that were mistakenly tortured. news out of the uk is they just settled with many of the tortured detainees to the tune of millions of dollars. So many of those tortured at gitmo are now walking the streets pissed the fuck off with millions of dollars in their pockets.. great work..

yet nobody has suggested this but you... nobody has suggested "reasoning" with terrorists at all, you made it up. What many are suggesting is you first find out if they are terrorists BEFORE you torture them perhaps. You seem to be lacking in order of things , which is why many of the tortured "supposed" terrorists are walking the streets right now.
