1. The Attention Grab: The interrogator forcefully grabs the shirt front of the prisoner and shakes him.
2. Attention Slap: An open-handed slap aimed at causing pain and triggering fear.
3. The Belly Slap: A hard open-handed slap to the stomach. The aim is to cause pain, but not internal injury. Doctors consulted advised against using a punch, which could cause lasting internal damage.
4. Long Time Standing: This technique is described as among the most effective. Prisoners are forced to stand, handcuffed and with their feet shackled to an eye bolt in the floor for more than 40 hours. Exhaustion and sleep deprivation are effective in yielding confessions.
5. The Cold Cell: The prisoner is left to stand naked in a cell kept near 50 degrees. Throughout the time in the cell the prisoner is doused with cold water.
6. Water Boarding: The prisoner is bound to an inclined board, feet raised and head slightly below the feet. Cellophane is wrapped over the prisoner's face and water is poured over him. Unavoidably, the gag reflex kicks in and a terrifying fear of drowning leads to almost instant pleas to bring the treatment to a halt.
According to the sources, CIA officers who subjected themselves to the water boarding technique lasted an average of 14 seconds before caving in. They said al Qaeda's toughest prisoner, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, won the admiration of interrogators when he was able to last between two and two-and-a-half minutes before begging to confess....
The detainees were also forced to listen to rap artist Eminem's "Slim Shady" album.

Where do you put the air hose?
Oh, uh, nevermind. I figured it out.
No kidding. The crossing the line ceremony would have Human Rights Watch in convulsions. I ate stuff that day I wouldn't make a dog eat. But I would make Bin Laden eat it.
What? No panties on the head?
Kissing the feet of the person being Neptunus Rex (rubbed liberally with Linburger Cheese)was a bit of a challenge.
Ah ... memories!
yep, and the hose tips are to be changed every time for hygienic reasons.
The Atomic Wedgie

Dramatic, but not terribly effective for getting information.
My older brother used to hold me (age 4-6) over the well, upside down, holding me by my ankles.
when he was on his death bed, i thought about unplugging his oxygen for about 60 secs at a time.....joking of course, i didn't really think about it ..... until it was too late.

Perhaps the most famous and popular of all Naval traditions is the Shellback. All Sailors and Marines are subject to this ritual when they float across the equator. Other Shellback certificates include the Gold Shellback title for crossing at the International Date Line and the Emerald Shellback title for crossing at the Greenwich Meridian.
This is a Navy tradition and an event no Sailor or Marine ever forgets. With few exceptions, those who have been inducted into the "mysteries of the deep" by Neptunus Rex and his Royal court, count the experience as a highlight of their naval career. Members of Neptunus Rex's party usually include Davy Jones, Neptune's first assistant, Her Highness Amphitrite, the Royal Scribe, the Royal Doctor, the Royal Dentist, the Royal Baby, the Royal Navigator, the Royal Chaplain, the Royal Judge, Attorneys, Barbers and other names that suit the party. Officially recognized by service record entries indicating date, time, latitude and longitude, the crossing of the equator involves elaborate preparation by the "Shellbacks" (those who have crossed the equator before) to ensure the "Pollywogs" (those who are about to cross the equator for the first time) are properly indoctrinated. All pollywogs, even the Commanding Officer if he has not crossed before, must participate. The ceremony is honorable and fun. No one gets hurt.
Got all 3 ...

Whatever will those nasty CIA agents do next, whip them with freshly steamed pork noodles?
Shame!
The one that intriques me the most is Waterboarding.
I would like to see it in action. If the terrorist's face is covered with celophane, why does the water make him think he's going to drown?
We need to establish a "third way" in dealing with all of this nonsense. The "criminal prosecution" tactics failed under Clinton.
The recognition of head-loppers as being worthy of the Geneva Conventions is failing under Bush-McCain. The Geneva Conventions contemplated state-on-state wars with uniformed combatants and allowed for repatriation at the conclusion of the conflict. Since we are battling a non-state ideology bent on our total destruction, it just doesn't work (can you say asymmetric war?).
Let's step away from the application of the Geneva Conventions and apply a third-way justice system that is NOT simply a criminal court, and NOT a bastardized military tribunal - neither fits. We need a separate system in dealing with the head-lopping terrorists whereby we can play kinda dirty...somewhere between becoming head-loppers ourselves but also allowing an interrogator to place panties on the head for intimidation or not be bound to providing Korans to terrorists and lemon-chicken prepared under Islamic proscription. Otherwise, throw in the towel.
LOL, I noticed that one too and thought that that probably was torture. :)
Aw, my heart is breaking. I'm just so so so so sad for the poor fellows.
Perhaps we should get REALLY tough and send in the French taunters of Monty Python fame.
"I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries."
That might do the trick.
They're hard to get ahold of, but I kinda like the 'compression/decompression' chamber method (described by Tom Clancy in one of his novels).
Nothin' like a good dose of the 'bends' to extract info - the pain is constant until you're re-compressed. Done properly, it doesn't leave a mark!.........FRegards
...most detainies cave after an average of 3 minutes and 42 seconds of John John John. They said al Qaeda's toughest prisoner, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, won the admiration of interrogators when he was able to last for almost two entire back to back playings of the second side of the "Plastic Ono Band Live in Toronto" album before begging to confess....
Khalid Sheik Mohammed is mostly deaf in both ears, so I am not that impressed.
You have to remember to take these things in context. :)
I did not laugh but I felt a great sense of satisfaction.
If that makes me a sadist in the eyes of some too bad. The only people who would find this punishment sadistic are those who never watched or listened to the sounds of 9/11. Innocent people burned alive on that day (the most painful way to die) and I want them to fear us so much that they leave us alone. Being meaner and nastier than the other guy is the only thing Islamofascist understand.
I still think we should incorporate lots of pork and pig guts in our treatment of these guys.
