Its not a matter of how long you're going to live but how long its going to take for you to die.
You're missing the point - if the alleged terrorist knows you'll resort to torture, why should he expect you *not* to lie when you tell him that the torture will stop as soon as he spills the beans? There's *zero* reason for him to expect better treatment if he cooperates. Remember - if we're *in* this situation, he *already* hates you enough to have done something so evil that you're willing to torture him to get the details. And all you're accomplishing by torturing him is proving that he was *right* about us - making it *more* likely he can draw on that as a source of strength and last until 5:03PM Tuesday. After that, who cares? He's already qualified himself for martyrdom.
