NOT TORTURE-"female interrogator bent back his thumbs+squeezed his genitals as he grimaced in pain"
Edited on Wed May-21-08 11:40 AM by kpete
The report contains a chart of the conduct FBI agents reported at Gitmo and the manner in which the agents learned of the conduct.





Most of the "techniques" listed have been previously revealed but there were some surprises:

In one of several previously undisclosed episodes, the report found that American military interrogators appeared to have collaborated with visiting Chinese officials at Guantánamo Bay to disrupt the sleep of Chinese Muslims held there, waking them every 15 minutes the night before their interviews by the Chinese. In another incident, it said, a female interrogator reportedly bent back an inmate's thumbs and squeezed his genitals as he grimaced in pain.

The charts, though, are less telling in the specifics than they are in the totality of the scheme the U.S. government came up with to legalize and then implement a policy of torture.

4. Thanks for helping to document it
But I knew this already.

Sick of having to say "I told you so" to the blockheads that say "we don't do that!!!"
