What do you do instead?

[nancylebov]

Over at The Teeming Brain, I was starting to reply to a post which was anti-torture, but had the unhappy question: "What do you do instead?" when I realized that I'd seen general descriptions of no-torture careful interrogation by professionials like pecunium, but I didn't have a clear idea of the method myself, and I couldn't find a good link for it either.

Any recommendations?

I can't point you to any sources but I think it's a bit of a non question. Police interrogate thousands of criminal suspects every day. Intelligence officers are trained to interrogate POWs who have full Geneva protection. I don't need to know how to interrogate without torture to know that it can be and is done every day by the competent professionals. I don't need to be able to tell you exactly how to drive a bus to know that driving it off a cliff is not appropriate.
