Torture might work, but then again it might not, and it often won't be easy, or perhaps even possible, to tell. A torture victim may well lie to make the torture stop or pause, saying whatever seems necessary and effective at that. Unless the information can be verified quickly against other information known to be true it is likely to be worth little, as it is if it merely confirms information the interrogators believe to be true.
