Torture works?

How much "torture" do we do, anyway? And is that "torture" defined as any physical contact, or only less debatable and debated conduct? Screw the sensationalized examples of people who were hurt, or the lawsuits from those who can feel the pea beneath the cell mattress. Other than for moral/legal debate/resolution, how big of a problem is this?

There is legislation pending. The administration apparently feels this is enough of a problem that it wants to legalize torture and exempt interrogators from threat of prosecution.
