Hasn't torture been basically proven to be a worthless intelligence tool long before this?

Well I've certainly never heard of anyone failing to achieve their intelligence objective during this kind of inquisition.

Is it safe to say at this point that the US has the most well-funded and expansive torture program that has ever existed?

Edit: I'm not entirely sure what the criteria should be for ranking past and present torture programs but it'd be interesting to see where this sits in the rankings.

There's this small business called the Catholic Church, they did some dabbling in this sector over the past thousand years or so.
