I am soundly against any form of torture or dishonesty such as a torture bluff under any circumstance.

"The key to interrogation is finding the weakness in the detainees psyche. "

It has been demonstrated time and time again that the greatest weakness in a detainee's psyche is their need to keep a rational grip on truth. Qualified interrogators know that when armed with the truth and the commitment to seek truth, they are able to engage detainees in a way that encourages them to come clean on relevant information. Torture and bluffing about torture flies in direct contradiction to that goal.
