The Propaganda around torture is so infuriating. There is this myth that good men torture and evil wilts before them giving out secrets. But good men can’t be broken under torture because they are just sooooo heroic. Reality is cruel men torture because they can. Truth information? Nah.
I remember a Fresh Air interview with a colonel from army intelligence who was very clear that torture didn’t work, forming a relationship involving mutual respect does.

Torture works! You can get them to confess to loads of things they never did!
