The Science of Torture

The US Government is finally investing in the science of torture.  It seems that since the Revolutionary War we have always just adopted new torture technique without any knowledge of its actual effectiveness.  Soon we will have absolute scientific proof as to which torture methods provide the most information for the effort exerted.

They say that the research will be guided by the US Army Field Manual. This means that all torture techniques researched  must not be specifically listed in the manual. I think this comes down to: Create new techniques and you are free to use them until the public finds out.
