Pippin:
There are known ways to defeat veritaserum. But it's the unknown ways I'd be worried about if I was fighting Voldemort. Crouch evidently didn't think he could rely on it. 

 Not to mention that this policy might have killed off the Malfoys and even Snape and Regulus, had they been unlucky enough to be captured before their change of heart. Those who are loyal to  Voldemort don't always remain so.
