Honestly i think it's more of a movie thing (but I'm no expert).
As far as i know, you can get a person intoxicated and impede their judgment, but that doesn't guarantee they will let the relevant info out.
Honestly, I don't think the U.S. or any other nation that claims to be "civil" should torture? Capture people, if they wont talk, press them as hard as you can
Appeal to their self-interest? Promise comfort and protection?
While that may work on some, it wouldn't work on fanatical brainwashed terrorists. Basically, what do you do if words fail?
