CIA torture tactics: What the terms really mean
From “rough takedown” to walling, a breakdown of the torture tactics that CIA agents used on prisoners after 9/11.
In case you're still on the fence wondering if it was really torture… read through this list compiled by Mashable.
I'm not sure how much ambiguity there is in a term like "forced rectal feeding….."
Agreed +Daniel Carelli. The other one that was particularly sickening, ok they all were but this made me cringe, was the liquid diet. They would feed people liquid diets of ensure and water so they would vomit less while they waterboarded them. Un-fucking-real.
Don't you mean "lightly sprinkled water on them?" You know, it's really more like a shower, I've heard. e_e
I can't believe that they thought of these names for the various actions. Presumably there is some sort of guide book.
But these are all "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques" which eases the conscience and does not sound at all like medieval savagery.
+Paul Wooding We've been playing with definitions for years. from "Flight Attendants" to "Liberation," these words only cover the truth.
+Daniel Carelli your right about words and literature, hell..torture is torture, and all is fair in love and war!
too nice to those ices and company chope off heads
+John Pimental No, we're too nice to idiots like you who can't even form a fucking sentence. Might as well be chopping off your head, you're not fuckin' using it.
This is the American way???
People go watch the movie "Rendition". It is exactly everything you are hearing about now. Work or not it's against all this country used to stand for. The beheading of people is making alot more sense now.
+Guillermo Abreu
Um…….yeah, as if anything justifies sawing off a third parties head with a knife. Really? ¬_¬
Real torture, for this who might be curious: http://opishposh.com/15-gruesomely-painful-medieval-torture-devices/
+Greg Mee Yea, lets waterboard you and then talk about how it's "not real torture."
I think you'd feel differently with a fucking tube up your ass. Of course, they'd have to remove your head to fit it in…..
+Daniel Carelli
Ah, I figured I'd probably get something from someone like you. Pop your head out of yours and look around someday. No, I expect that's way too much effort for you.
Your point, not that you actually have one, is irrelevant. I make no claim to being able to stand up to either that or to real torture.
Last word is yours, I won't see it.
+Greg Mee "Someone like me?" I love how you feel the need to pretend you know anything about me. Nice try, pops. Want to refute something I've said, try making a logical argument instead of a defensive emotional one. Might earn you more credibility, but it's doubtful given your bovine stupidity.
You're making excuses for torture, I really couldn't give less of a fuck what you think. You're an old, entitled, white male. Eventually you will be remembered only by the pages of an obituary, so you can keep talking as much as you like. No one's listening.
Your opinions are immaterial. 🙂
+West Kagle Exactly, none of these stuff can justify what has happened.
+Daniel Carelli
Nice mouth. It always helps your side of the argument when you let loose with a flurry of foul personal insults. Shows the level of debating skills you possess. ¬_¬
BTW, water boarding isn't that big a deal. You go through it during special ops training. 😐
+West Kagle Too bad it's not a "debate." That would require us to be on equal mental footing, which we are not. This is an idiot being called out by someone with an IQ over 12, and would be more easily comparable to an adult beating up on a mentally handicapped inbred child.
I'm sorry that you have the skin of a newborn, but I couldn't give less of a fuck if my fucking language offends your stupid fucking ass.
This is the internet. People are going to be nasty to you when you're a fucking moron. If you can't handle it, get off your computer and go read a book. Either way, save your whining for someone who gives a shit about your feelings. I do not.
I'm not required to be civil to bovine idiots who talk out of their asses about things they don't understand.
"Waaaah waaaah waaah. Someone called me names so I ignore all the valid points made to whine about it like a toddler. WAAAAH WAAAH."
Give me a fucking break, kid.
+Daniel Carelli
Yeah, yeah. Pretty much what I thought, another YouTube genius. Funny that I don't remember saying you called me any names. I just observed that resorting to name calling with foul language exposes the small closed mind of the user. Sad.
BTW, by the looks of you in your pics, I'd say I was old enough to be you father, so yeah……you might want to rethink the 'kid' thing…………knucklehead. ¬_¬
+West Kagle What the hell does YouTube have to do with my unwillingness to censor myself to protect your child-like feelings?
Grow. a thicker. skin. You've managed not to die longer than I have, you think that grants you some kind of wisdom? Your emotional age is clearly that of a toddler given how whiny you get at someone using "mean words." I will speak to you as the mental and emotional age you are, not the amount of years you've spent sucking down my oxygen, kid.
Why don't you go clean out your vagina and cry in the corner, I really don't have any more time to waste on your stupid ass.
+Paul Spoerry
I see that my esteemed debating colleague has vanished from the thread. Was it you who rescued us from his impressive linguistic assault? My deepest thanks, I don't know what I would have done if he had called me a toddler again. 😉
@Daniel Carelli
Perhaps I'm wrong and you weren't removed from the thread, and that you just blocked me so I wouldn't see your posts. Again…….very sad. I was rather enjoying watching you make a complete buffoon of yourself.
Just unblock me anytime you want to continue straining your mental facilities while playing the jester for us. 😛
