do we know of instances where such practices led to the saving of lives?
isn't it like morality; subjective as to whether it works or not. i think many people would tell you what they think you want to know when being tortured but i think the odds of them telling you something you can corroborate much more likely than simply asking with a pleasant tone of voice. (unless of course they know nothing)
what are the penalties for breaking the geneva con and how can they be enforced. wouldn't a country imply state it no longer wants to be part of the organisation?
i think under certain conditions it's one way of getting info. i think that it's probably used much more than it should be.
