Where Rectal Feeding Came From and How the CIA Used ItWhile rectal hydration may be used in emergency situations, its not the first-, second- or even third-best option, said Allen Keller, director of the Bellevue/New York University Program for Survivors of Torture. Its clear in the context of the report that there were ulterior motives in the decision to use the technique, he said.
This was done not solely for therapeutic reasons but as another form of abuse or humiliation, Keller said. Given the circumstances, this is sodomy with the intention of humiliation under the guise of medical treatment.
