Torture is the future for investigation

Thank you for accepting I strongly believe that torture is the future for investigation, since it is the most effective way of getting information out of an inmate. As Ali Soufan, a FBI special agent experience investigating al-Qaeda operatives, states, "when they are in pain, people will say anything to make it stop". Which shows that they likely to give up information that we maybe did not know we were looking for. In war, information is a weapon and the only effective way to get this information is through torture. Torture is a tool that is used in over 141 countries around the world, because it would be hard to gain the same information, without the use of torture. These countries show us that torture is useful and that they have been able to gain valuable information, that helped prevent terrorism and gain important information that could save millions of lives, which is our main goal in interrogation of terrorists. Without torture, security is difficult to achieve. Without the torture (or the death penalty) the inmates or terrorist do not have anything to be afraid of, they know that the authorities cannot harm them even if they do not speak, so why should they speak. I believe torture is a good tool to have, both in practice but also for scaring information out of them. Someone who is willing to blow himself up and kill 100"s of people is not going to talk unless you force them to. The only way you can make them talk, is by torture. Some might say, "They were planning to die anyway, so why would they talk" and the answer is simple, they will not die because of torture, they will have to endure pain and they know what to do to make it stop, and they surely won"t be killed. We do not have time to sit and wait for them to get bored enough to talk. If we have a so-called ticking time bomb scenario torture would be a powerful tool. Imagine a terrorist group states that they have concealed a nuclear bomb in New York and the authorities have captured the leader of the group, he says that he knows where the bomb is but refuses to reveal the location. Torture is guaranteed to give the information needed to ensure the authorities find and make the bomb safe. In this case, as in many other cases, torture is acceptable in investigation Yes, torture is inhumane however, it is necessary if we want to stop terrorism. We are supposed to protect innocent lives and if that means torturing a criminal for information, I would say that it is worth it. ISIS use torture, ISIS beheaded a man on video as a message to the world. Why do we allow them to use torture, but to get information from terrorists we will not use it ourselves. Some say that we have to be on the right side and be the good ones, but this is not a fairy-tale, we are trying to save innocent people, why can"t we do that by inflicting some pain on the people who deserves it.
