You’re right. It’s like breaking the laws of human liberties. I’m afraid most sane people would say anything they’re told to just to stop the torture. The mere idea of what would happen to them if they don’t collaborate is enough to make them say anything the torturers tell them to. When I was in the 8th (or 9th) grade they had us read George Orwell’s "1984" and "Animal House". I hope schools still recommend them. They speak for our present times. One of the final scenes in "1984" shows us how the torturer so easily destroys the integrity of his victim. Truth and morality is of no interest...just getting him to say exactly what you want him to.
