iht.com — The military trainers who came to Guantánamo Bay in December 2002 based an entire interrogation class on a chart showing the effects of "coercive management techniques" The recycled chart is the most vivid evidence of the way Communist interrogation methods that the United States long described as torture became the basis for Guantanamo Bay.

Before my cousin died he used to say "a day without laughter is a day wasted." If you seek to stop me and others from laughing at the absurdity of my government in favor of pulling my hair out, I will gladly wear the label of ignorance.

That's the "invisible hand" everyone's always talking about. You find that guy and everything unravels.

The headline should read 'US Entirely Responsible for Torture Methods used at Guantanamo' (and Abu Ghraib, and Bagram, etc etc).Why this need to shift the blame elsewhere? Why such a problem takinng responsibility? It smacks of the excuses the Nazis used at Nuremburg.

It is not a matter of torture working. It is a matter of necessity. These people need to be punished and as Americans that are morally superior it is our obligation to do so. I guess we could just hang all captured enemy combatants and save ourselves time and money.

yep, "an eye for an eye only results in making the whole world blind" stoop to the enemy's level and you become equally guilty of crimes against humanity, which in the enemy's eyes, justifies further attacks.

exactly..like the trials for witchcraft in the middle ages, where if you floated, you were guilty and if you sank (therefore drowning) you were innocent. in many cases, they keep torturing until they get you to confess to something, take the case of diliwar, an innocent iraqi captured by u.s soldiers and tortured to death in abu ghraib, one of the us concentration camps in iraq (this story is shown on "taxi to the side" on youtube, and is very eye opening)
