Standardized and systemic torture applied equivocally to appropriate sample sizes of isolated prisoners is effective for validating a shared piece of information every time. It may not be a great tool, a moral tool, or an acceptable method, but it can be very effective.

Preventing a crime via punishment is effective; getting information out of somebody via torture is not.
We humans have minds. When pain is immense; we just simply lie to get it over with.

No wonder most American airstrikes failed to hunt Bin Laden for decades despite building torture compounds like Guantanamo Bay.

Vietnam is a good example too.
