  Torture itself doesn’t work reliably. The possibility of it might get someone to open up when combined with giving someone the time to just open up or a positive reward. Torture itself is counterproductive as the person is just saying whatever the torturer wants to hear to make the pain stop.

  Psyops absolutely work.
