Putting morals aside for a second, does anyone know of any academic papers on the effectiveness (or lack of) of torture? Personally, I suspect that I would trust historical sources more than psychology based one.

I found some papers by Jeannine Bell (one thousand shades of grey and Behind this moral bone published by ssrn.com abstract 829467 and 1171369) but those are not historical in nature.

Anyone?
