CIA torture report reveals tactics used on terrorists
RECTAL FEEDING AND HYDRATION
Quote:
Detainees were subjected to 'rectal feeding' and 'rectal rehydration' - an enema administered with the intent of providing nutrition when normal feeding is not possible, common in 19th-century medicine.
One detainee Majid Khan was placed in a forward-facing position with his head lower than his torso and his lunch, consisting of hummus, pasta with sauce and raisins was 'pureed' and rectally infused while in .
Khan, who joined al Qaeda after graduating from high school in Baltimore, Maryland, admitted to plotting to blow up gasoline tanks in the U.S.
The terrorist struck a plea bargain and is serving 19 years in return for his full cooperation with authorities after pleading guilty to five war crimes, including murder, attempted murder and spying.
However sentencing was delayed for four years, and if Khan fails to cooperate, he could receive up to 25 years, The Washington Post reported.
He is reportedly still at Guantanamo after being held at a secret location in Afghanistan for several years.

SLEEP DEPRIVATION AND STRESS POSITIONS FOR DETAINEES WITH BROKEN FEET AND LEGS
Quote:
The torture technique was used alongside other brutal methods of interrogation.
Detainees were often kept awake for 180 hours at a time often in stress positions, naked and with hands shackled.
One detainee had been chained to the wall in a standing position for 17 days. According to the CIA interrogator, some of the prisoners looked like 'dogs that had been kenneled'.
Another had his hands shackled to an overhead bar for 22 hours each days for more than two consecutive days, in order to 'break resistance'.
At one facility, known as the 'Cobalt' facility or the 'dungeon', the CIA made certain detainees who had broken feet or legs to stand in stress-inducing positions.
One detainee with a prosthetic leg was shackled in the standing position for a bout of sleep deprivation until medical personnel assessed that he could not maintain the position.
Redha al-Najar, a former Osama bin Laden bodyguard and one of the first prisoners, was hooded and subjected to round-the-clock music or interrogations to prevent him from sleeping - though there was no indication he was resisting interrogators.
A month later, CIA questioners found al-Najjar a 'broken man' and on the verge of a 'complete breakdown'.
But the treatment got worse, with officials lowering his food ration, keeping him shackled in the cold and giving him a diaper instead of toilet access, the report said.

TEMPERATURE TORTURE
Quote:
One suspect died of hypothermia while naked and chained to a floor while others received 'ice baths'.
Gul Rahman a member of Hezb-e Islami - an Afghan terrorist organisation, was shackled to the wall of his cell, that required him to rest on the bare, concrete floor while wearing only a sweatshirt. A CIA officer had ordered his clothing be removed when he was judged to be uncooperative during an earlier interrogation.
The next day, officers found Rahman's dead body. An autopsy found that he likely died from hypothermia.
Rahman was captured in October 2002 and held at a secret location, known as the 'Salt Pit' in northern Kabul, Afghanistan, while temperatures were close to freezing.He died within a month.
Justice Department investigations into that and another death of a CIA detainee resulted in no charges.

Obviously all of this is appalling, but you give up all human rights when you're a terrorist. Good riddance.

Other than the diaper, it's not really that bad in my opinion.
Edit: Whoops, one guy died from ice baths. That's messed up.

UGH
They're humans, they never lose their human rights, that makes absolutely no sense. I don't disagree with torture but don't try to paint a pretty picture to make yourself feel better.
Dehumanization as a means of performing abhorrent acts is the root of most of our societal problems, including racism, xenophobia and homophobia. I find it absolutely disgusting that people can't just own up to their own ****** behavior
edit - oh and add physical and mental ableism to that list as well as sexism

The enemas are messed up too. But there are worse forms of torture. I though it would be like, more physical abuse. Not to say the ice baths weren't horrible.

There was physical abuse too. Rape/electrocution being some of them. And that's only what we are being told.

Yeah. It'd be so ignorant to think that the CIA hasn't been doing shady things since their start up. You've seen the tactics that they always show in TV shows.  Crazy how the truth is stranger than the fiction.

Best to be safe? Best to be safe and torture someone anyway, or best to be safe and at least have a trial before you start punishing people?
Do you know what has been achieved through torture? Nothing. No results. Nada. Possibly innocent people suffering with no justification.

Terrorists are corrupted beings, but who are we to do such inhumane acts upon them? Should we turn into terrorists ourselves in order to serve justice? I would never rest if I had a hand in torturing or killing someone, be it physically or emotionally. Putting them in jail would suffice in my opinion. There is no greater punishment than restricting a man's freedom to live and love.

A mess. Terrorists who kill thousands of innocent people deserve no rights.

They are faags, they are nigggers, they are sluuts, they are chinks, they are mentally unstable.
Historically, all of these are covert, and sometimes inadvertent ways to make someone less "human" than we all are, just so we can sleep better at night when we treat them like ****. It's just another way to strip our fellow man of their humanity without feeling bad. Like I said, I'm not opposed to performing torture towards ALLEGED (!!!!) terrorists, but let's not sit here and pretend like we're nice, humane individuals for condoning it.
edit - This is like, the epitome of cognitive dissonance

Do they torture them to get something out of them or just for the fun of it?
