I'll start with:

Forced to watch and listen to "The Way We Were" (Barbara Streisand, Robert Redford) continuously until they crack.

Stealing an idea from "Millennium", I suggest 24 hour a day playing of the song "Love is Blue"

Heck, just an hour of it during that episode (WITH commercial breaks) and I was borderline broken as a man...

Why not run continuous audio tape of the Torah (in their native language), and show simulated video of The Dome of the Rock exploding? As well as a mushroom cloud over Mecca? (Are you Ayn's Hugh?)

Secure the client to a table, face up.

Drape a large, folded cloth with a fairly coarse, open weave over his face and do the following...

1) Ask a question.

2) If the answer isn't satisfactory, pour a little ice cold water onto the cloth, using the tip of his nose as your aiming point.

Repeat steps 1 & 2 until satisfactory answers are forthcoming.

Named after the character, yes, but only as a nod to some of his traits, not all of them.

I assume they're being held in a place where their access to news is a bit limited. So occaisionally let them see some carefully made phony news items that make it appear that the CIA has arranged for a little "accident" to befall friends and relatives of theirs back home.

"You've already lost youor mother, father, and two brothers. You'd better tell us what you know while your sister is still alive. We've got something really nasty lined up for her."

In the early 60s I was stationed in Korea and worked in close proximity to the Korean CIA types. Very often they would capture what they thought was a North Korean infiltrator.

As there was a necessity to find out quickly if the prisoner was a "Linecrosser" just in case sabotage was part of the mission (see Israli "ticking bomb" principle) they would often use "field expedient" interrogation methods.

The whole idea was to get the information and leave the prisoner alive and unscarred for trial should one prove to be politically expedient.

The prisoner was placed on his knees with hands bound to ankles. The head was pulled back and soapy water was poured in the nose and mouth.

Simple and cheap procedure leaves no marks. Repeat as required until desired result is obtained.

There are also several interesting uses for hand cranked field telephones (90volt ringing current no burns.)

You forget the punishment of being swadled in the crusty black pantsuit hamper on an 80 degree day

24 hours a day of that annoying commercial for some kind of stain remover by that guy who yells while he's dipping something in the solution. Don't even know what he advertises. It's so annoying I have to switch it off. It would drive anyone nuts.

In one of the most hilarious movies ever made, One, Two, Three, the commies torture a guy by playing It was a teensy, weensy, yellow polka dot bikini over and over. By the end of the session the 45 has slipped off the spindle so the record is spinning in an oblong pattern rather than a circle thus causing the sound to speed up and slow down, speed up and slow down.

Screamingly funny movie from 40 yrs ago.

Tape the guy's left hand to his body and force a bottle of that 'super colon blow' stuff from the drugstore down him.

No food or water for three days. On fourth day set a campstove outside the cell and whip up some bacon and eggs with orange juice and hot coffee.

Who knows, it could work!

They should pipe "The Best of Slim Whitman" into their cells. They'll end up like the Martians on "Mars Attacks".

Have you no conscience, sir?

And I thought MY ideas were almost beyond the pale...

my favorite:
forcing them to watch 'Dance Fever' (the adrian zamed era) while being forcefed ham sandwiches.

Actually, I'd like to see them put in sensory deprivation tanks for a couple of days. Should make them nice and pliable, I would think.
