British soldiers have “lost their capability” to interrogate terrorist insurgents because of strict new rules on questioning that even ban shouting in captives’ ears, military chiefs have warned.
The rules — detailed in court papers obtained by The Telegraph — also prevent military intelligence officers from banging their fists on tables or walls, or using “insulting words” when interrogating a suspect. The regulations replaced a previous policy that had to be withdrawn after a series of legal challenges and the death in custody of Baha Mousa, an Iraqi detainee in Basra.
But there is growing disquiet within the ranks that the latest guidelines, officially called Challenge Direct, are so stringent that it makes interrogation pointless.
There is also concern that the rules can be so easily breached — especially given the pressure under which soldiers are operating — that military personnel will be left exposed to legal claims and possible disciplinary action.

Is it okay to whack off their heads? I guess so because they’re still doing it.
War is hell...crush the enemy as quickly as possible and let everyone move on.
You cannot judge the actions of soldiers engaged in combat in the same way you judge normal human actions. In real combat all participants are a little bit crazy...how could it be otherwise?
You want warriors whose sole aim is to destroy the enemy at all costs...they can’t function well if they are constantly worried their actions will be judges as if they were “back in the world”.

OMG, yelling! Why that’s worse than underwear on the head.
How will those poor men ever get over it? /s
Imagine the horrors if someone actually yelled at a guy with underwear on his head.
Gosh, someone quick call a human rights rep. /s

No more interrogations, no more prisoners. Any combatant worth interrogating should be sent to s strip bar serving bacon and forced to endure the music of Justin Beaver in the background!

Is yelling at terrorists the “torture” we’ve been hearing about?
Look, in Psych 101 they taught us that if you start out by offering them M&Ms and then when they refuse to cooperate, you take away their M&Ms......
