Torture makes everything unreliable...

It's why it's not used to get information, it's used to make a population feel like resistance is futile.

Speak out and get disappeared.

Years later their family finding out they "confessed" is to remind them their loved one didn't just die, they e been being held and tortured against international law until they've been broken into a shell of their former selves...

Now everyone forget that the "good guys" were in office while this happened. So we can elect them again and nothing will fundamentally change.
