Torture is such an ugly word. 1. The Attention Grab: The interrogator forcefully grabs the shirt front of the prisoner and shakes him.
Go for it! 2. Attention Slap: An open-handed slap aimed at causing pain and triggering fear. Bitch slap him all you want. 3. The Belly Slap: A hard open-handed slap to the stomach. The aim is to cause pain, but not internal injury. Doctors consulted advised against using a punch, which could cause lasting internal damage. Yeah, go on and make it glow. 4. Long Time Standing: This technique is described as among the most effective. Prisoners are forced to stand, handcuffed and with their feet shackled to an eye bolt in the floor for more than 40 hours. Exhaustion and sleep deprivation are effective in yielding confessions. Like waiting on line for concert tickets back in the day. 5. The Cold Cell: The prisoner is left to stand naked in a cell kept near 50 degrees. Throughout the time in the cell the prisoner is doused with cold water. That's messed up. I might even consider this too cruel. But if I know the guy is al Qaeda then I say don't forget to piss in the bucket. 6. Water Boarding: The prisoner is bound to an inclined board, feet raised and head slightly below the feet. Cellophane is wrapped over the prisoner's face and water is poured over him. Unavoidably, the gag reflex kicks in and a terrifying fear of drowning leads to almost instant pleas to bring the treatment to a halt. This one only in extreme cases where you know they have timely info and won't give it up. Once they've been on trial the interrogation will be too late. Do you think we should have given Khalid Sheikh Mohammed his day in court before we started with the interrogations?
