CIA operatives subjected at least five detainees to what they called “rectal rehydration and feeding”, a medical practice applied with extreme rarity and known more colloquially as a nutrient enema, according to a Senate intelligence committee report released Tuesday.
The CIA forced the nutrient enemas on two detainees who attempted hunger strikes, a third who “partially refus[ed] liquids”, a fourth “without a determination of medical need”, and a fifth whose case details are not divulged.

With friends like that, who needs enemas?
That episode was a Bridge or ten too far.
>> Haven’t had a good enema thread since the “butt-chugging” sherry murder.

This is a technique well known to druggies - a higher, quicker high than with the substance ingested orally.
One of the detainees was administered a coffee enema.
“Owwwoooooohhhhowwwwww!”
“What’s the matter? Too hot?”
“NO! Too sweet!”
Do they use a straw?
Beat me to it!
And it was pork chops.
yuck
Beheading or rectal feeding? The latter is a better choice I think.
The prisoners were trying to starve themselves - the so-called torture were in fact medical procedures to keep them alive - the disingenuousness of the left knows no bounds - or shame.......
Note to self: Never tell a CIA officer “Up yours!”
Sounds gross, but vital nutrients are absorbed in the last mile.
>> the so-called torture were in fact medical procedures
Would the Left argue if the detainees were being fed beef sausage?
*rimshot*
A puzzle for you, Mr. pharmocology student. Which of the three methods described below results in the shortest restraint time possible to transfer a nutritional dose to a combative patient?
The largest-gauge tube available as described by the unnamed operative and inserted - er - in whichever you deem the most efficient natural orifice for nutient absorption, between direct oral which may trigger gagging/emesis or anal which may cause, well, I’ll stop here...
- OR -
Intravenous administration of nutrition with fluids...
- OR -
NG tube under hospital conditions.
Again, we’re dealing with a combative, uncooperative patient who must be restrained for the duration of the procedure. Mint & kiss afterwards optional. Just curious.
IV really isn’t suitable under the circumstances - it’s slow and expensive. You never use IV feeding when the patient has a working GI tract.
For a combative patient, sedation and NG tube, I believe. Keep in mind that if the patient is in his right mind, he could simply refuse the feeding. I suspect that GITMO prisoners have fewer rights in this respect.
Ali, Tariq and Yobet all said that our guys were more gentle than their pet goats.
Right, right. Intellectual exercise very much tongue in cheek.
Sedation? Sedation this, jihadi boy!
