Sociopaths = those who kill without remorse, often begin their lifelong psychosis by torturing small animals, working their way up to human beings.
Torture is a training program to breed sociopaths. Media, like this movie and Fox's "24" TV series is a training program to mass breed sociopaths.
Conscience, guilt, remorse: once these feelings are dead they cannot be revived. There is not true "epiphany, Jesus saved a wretch like me". Once a sociopath, forever a sociopath.
One should choose their goals with greater care than let Rupert Murdoch or Bigalow make up your mind for you.

We will have to bring back the draft. It's going to get hard to get volunteers to join the all-volunteer army when internet videos showing a prisoner being skinned alive start making the rounds. The 1% who commands the armies, and profits from war, is not going to take the field.

It works at making people without consciences, without guilt, without remorse, who might even begin to like it and do it in their neighborhoods after they retire from govt.

The issue is not over the EFFECTIVENESS.
The issue is the monsters it creates who perform it, and giving govt that kind of power to do that to YOURSELF whensoever it decided that is the effective choice.
Some people have no real sense of self-defense and would give their enemies the tools to destroy themselves. People who hate big govt, hate out of control govt, hate inhuman govt, would legalize torture in the hands of that same govt.

Torture is the reason that WRECKER BUSH, CHENEY, and RUMSFELD cannot travel outside the US except to Israel and Bahrain, because they would be arrested and extracted to the world court in any other country on Earth.
76% not sociopaths is not great. It used to be, not long ago, that 96% were not sociopaths.
