U.S. Borrowed Interrogation Methods From an Old EnemyPosted on Jul 3, 2008
One man’s torture, it seems, is another’s “coercive management technique.” For decades the United States has maintained that American prisoners were tortured by the Chinese during the Korean War. Now it turns out that at least some of the interrogation methods used at Guantanamo Bay were lifted directly from an American study of China’s Korean War era practices. Much of the information the Chinese were able to gather at that time was false, so the U.S. military not only chose to copy the exact interrogation techniques once used against its own soldiers, but techniques that it knew didn’t even work.

The Chinese have had thousands years to perfect their techniques. Some day we’ll show them who’s better at torture—-there must not be a torture gap.

However, it’s one of the best kept secrets that the US borrows many of its horrible interrogation techniques from its closest ally Israel.

Well, aint that good news! It’s good to know that poisonous dog food and leaded choking-hazardous toys aren’t the only trade commodities for which indebted America’s new trade partner is notoriously renowned.
WE’RE GOING TO HELL!!!
