My sense is that torture, or whatever you want to call it, significantly reduced the general invisibility (resistance to selection for interference) with minimal/no counterbalancing increase in invincibility (resistance to interference). If you watched the video linked to the side of the page, you would already know that means that the general security (protection from interference) was reduced.

Additionally:

Torture, and its use, is one of those "canary in the mineshaft" issues for me; it shows a government has no respect for law. Any attempts to try and domesticate it and limit it under strict guidelines are likely to fail. As we are finding here at home in the UK, if you give governments powers, then they will use them, sooner or later, against innocent people.

Yeah, me too.
