Captain Picard on Torture

Lifted directly from George Orwell.

Good point. I'm sure I'd say anything to keep from being tortured, too. But, that's not the point of interrogation.

The point is to get the REAL truth. That's why torture is worthless.

Upvote for the greatest ST TNG episode of all time. Up vote for the only bad-ass French guy that everyone know. Down vote for using these clips to try and make a point about torture in the real world. You came out on top. Lucky you.

Alienation does not elicit the truthtelling. Unfalsifiable stories are easily fabricated. Torture does not work. A slow process of building rapport does work.

Seems like the point anymore is to get the answers they want...the truth doesnt always work into their plans.
