Uh most emphatically no. Torture is a good way of extracting information yes, but whether it's accurate information is very questionable. Might i point out that torture was used to convict defendants in the Salem witch trials?
If you torture someone who simply was not speaking, they will say something. They may lie, but they'll talk.
If you promise them all the riches in the world, even if you could prove you meant it, I would wager they're still far less likely to even speak.
Torture is a far more effective method of interrogation. It's just not particularly useful, but that's not the question.
