Findegil, its maybe not something to get into, but I think if you look into it at all, you'll see that torture ALWAYS works. Sorry, but the human body is incredibly sensitive to pain, & also to psychological torture. EVERYONE breaks. They just do. Unless they die first. Morgoth could have broken Hurin, if he'd felt it was important enough. I think the 'torture' Morgoth inflicted on Hurin was designed to cause him extreme pain & distress. But not to get information.

If Morgoth was truly afraid of the power of Gondolin, he would have continued with the torture, not stopped, until Hurin had either told everything he knew, or had died in the process. Come on - Morgoth, REALLY TERRIFIED, gives up on trying to get the info out of Hurin?? No, Morgoth was up to something else. Basically, slowly try & destroy Hurin's spirit, because he took pleasure in that kind of thing.
