#1 Truth serum is not particularly effective. Now if pliers are also used in the administration of truth serum...

#2 From what I have read, "truth serum" is just a scientific way of getting you to lower your inhibitions. It's like getting drunk - you babble, but there is no guarantee that what you say will make sense.
With pliers and other instruments of torture, eventually the victim will say anything to make the pain stop.
There ARE methods to wear down someone's resistance that are not true torture, but are very effective. Sleep deprivation, and so on. Of course, we Americans aren't allowed to use them.

#4 They have some new drugs available that can cause one to be more trusting of an interrogator. And they can give another drug to erase the memory of the interrogation session so the subject has no idea later what they even said. But all that does nothing if he comes back with "hey, I was trippin' balls and I have no idea who was there".
