The Milgram experiment is a joke because nobody really believes they are torturing someone in a lab setting. If you have any common sense, how do you think they find the people to volunteer to be the pain subjects?

If you want the real facts on torture, study what the Germans and Japanese did. Bottom line, it works. Second bottom line, it is brutal when done right. And it has always been more effective in gathering info when trying to prevent or learn about a FUTURE event. The cases where POWs are tortured in camps and such like Vietnam are less effective because at that stage of the game, prisoners are willing to say whatever to earn perceived benefits in their living conditions.
