History of CIA Interrogation
Once again, very good report from democracynow.org!
"We now take a look at what lies behind the shocking images of torture at Abu Ghraib prison by turning to the history of the CIA and torture techniques. Professor Alfred McCoy talks about his book 'A Question of Torture', a startling expose of the CIA development of psychological torture from the Cold War to Abu Ghraib."
Mr McCoy tells us that the techniques used in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo have been developed by the CIA in order to get the most efficient results during interrogation sessions.
These techniques are the results of decades of research and didn't end up in Iraq just because some bad apples were bored during the night shift.
Worse, the new law championed by Senator McCain won't really change a thing since Bush kept the following 3 powers:
So guys, just pray you will never be taken in extraordinary rendition...

Worse, the new law championed by Senator McCain won't really change a thing since Bush kept the following 3 powers:
- The Commander in Chief, in a time of war, can authorize anything he sees fit to ensure National Security
- CIA agents are allowed to torture if they do it for vital information
- Guantanamo isn't part of the USA, hence USA law doesn't apply there.
So guys, just pray you will never be taken in extraordinary rendition...

Safest way to avoid this is to not visit the United states.. .. or Australia, as they signed a law that made it easier for the US to request extradiction from australia, but it did'nt make it easier for Australia to request someone from the US.... :)
I believe you can read some declassified CIA manuals on interrogation techniques from the CIA LIbrary site... interesting reads there, if you have the time =)
