We've all heard the term, "waterboarding", but I wasn't aware of what it really was, until I came accross this actual picture of an actual Kmher Rouge waterboard and a graphic representation of how it was used...
Not torture, but "alternative techniques", huh?
Waterboarding is against written US policy.
Thank you Brandon. That's nice to know.

Yet done so often.
It's torture.
All this stupid euphemism crap is lying, plain and simple.

so is f*cking one of your pages....
Quote:According to the sources, CIA officers who subjected themselves to the water boarding technique lasted an average of 14 seconds before caving in. They said al Qaeda's toughest prisoner, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, won the admiration of interrogators when he was able to last between two and two-and-a-half minutes before begging to confess.

Used by the CIA, but against US policy?
Chertoff even stated that it can be used in certain circumstances.

Makes me wonder why Studds was allowed to stay in office. Foley just talked dirty to one and he resigned his position. Guee that's the difference between the Republicans and Democrats in congress. When Dem get caught, they just keep doing what they do while Republicans resign for far less serious reasons.
Yeah, they're obviously the more morally upright, with the most integrity. Obviously.

As already discussed on this board, waterboarding is prohibited in the Army Field Manual called "Human Intelligence Collector Operations."
Yeah - we gotcha Brandon - its against the rules. Noted.

I agree. First sign of unpleasantness and republicans cut and run. Pussies. Are these really the people you want leading the country in a never ending crusade against terror?

No, the first sign that they have been
caught they resign from their position instead of just plowing on like it never happened. Your all wet on your analogy there bear.

The CIA wipes their asses with the Army Field Manual.
Here's how a prison for slammite terrorists would operate if I were in charge of things.
For starters, the guy running such a prison would be a hog farmer, and a cell without (other) pigs in it would be a reward for useful information, and it would have to be really, really useful. Otherwise, they'd sit there with a bunch of pigs all day and when feeding time came around, they'd get down on their hands and knees and fight for space at the trough with all the other pigs. Oh yeah, there'd be somebody there with a camera to snap pictures of them to send back to their families, so they'd know how they were getting along.
No korans, no prayer rugs, no call to prayer. no cell phones, nothing, except possibly for language classes to learn the language of their new surroundings: "Oink oink oink oink oink oink.........."

Cite your source.
Are you saying that the CIA uses the Army Field Manual as a guideline for interrogations?

Quote:The new Army Field Manual would protect detainees from several of the disputed techniques, such as waterboarding. But the manual does not pertain to CIA interrogators, who operate outside the military chain of command.
