May work for some, May not work for others. In reference to terrorist interrogation, this is a rather irrelevant example.

The accused was caught in the act of picking up the ransom and knew therefore that he was in deep. He's much more susceptible to interrogation techniques because he knows the cops know he is guilty.

There's a case of a Canadian citizen picked up transiting the US at Kennedy airport, interrogated, then rendered to Jordan, where he was interrogated again, then tortured by being shipped with 2 inch cable and a confession was extracted from him.

Subsequently he was released without further action because his confession turned out to be false and that he had no intel of any use. Because he wasn't actually linked to any terrorist act or group.

All this because he shared his quite common name with someone on the Homeland Security watch list.

The interrogators thought he was holding out and threatened and finally resorted to torture for no good reason.
