Who would stand up the best to physical torture among the current political figures? We know McCain has walked the walk. He held up magnificently yet still feels guilt about what he did. That's hard core.
I think Cheney would be a tough nut to crack but would probably have a heart attack very quickly.
Hillary might be the meanest of all. I bet you would have to really go beyond the pale to get her to break. She would be spitting and cursing at you as you turned the handle.
Mike Huckabee was a Baptist Minister so he is no stranger to discomfort. I think he would do well. The government made a study of Korean POWs and found that Fundamentalist Christians were among the best at withstanding torture. They have to be if you think about it.
Al Gore would, IMO, talk immediately. Ditto John Edwards. Mitt Romney. President Bush.
Bill Clinton would talk immediately but nothing he said would be true. He'd have his interrogators eating out of the palm of his hand, backslapping and laughing, all with fantastic lies.
