how do you know for sure?

my beef is this: dont take away any tools to extract information. cookies and the nice approach work for some, but not others.
Not sure what you mean. "No non-physical torture" means "physical torture," right?

Treating people like expendable dirt is never good. When they're in your custody as in this case, degrading, demeaning, or hurting them is a bit like putting a cat in a microwave.
