I'll start with:

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

[Hugh Akston]

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...

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.

Method sure to crack any man: Send them shopping with my wife.

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.)

Forced to watch any of the following until they talk:

• Barney the Infidel Dinosaur
• Britney Spears videos
• Heaven's Gate
• Waterworld
• Pastor Crouch and his wife Jan
• Jimmy Swaggart--The Golden Years
• William Shatner singing "Mr. Tambourine Man"
• Star Trek: Voyager reruns
• Plan 9 from Outer Space
• Battlefield Earth

Put a large pig with the terrorist in a very small cell.

[Calpublican]

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.

[dighton]

Endless tape of Patsy Schroeder.

[pa_dweller]

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!

[Cornjonny]

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

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

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

[william clark]

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.

[dirtboy]

Torture methods must leave behind no evidence of physical bodily injury.

This calls for Janet Reno. Throw a burqa over Reno and the terrorist and lash them together at the ankles. Then, crank the Barry White. The terror, the terror...

[ArrogantBustard]

Endless replays of "Teletubbies" and/or "Barney". Endless replays of "Innagadadavida". Janet Reno in a bikini. hitlery clinton in a bikini. Barney Frank in a bikini.

Send them to Turkey.

There will be no evidence.

Anything with Julia Roberts or Sandra Bullock in it.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Tie the victims arms to the arms of the chair. Secure victims legs to floor. Make a mixture of 1 tablespoon powered sugar with 1 cup warm water, mix until completely dissolved. Apply with q-tip like swab as far into nasal passages as possible. Release 30 to 50 fire ants into nasal passages. Block nasal passages with duct tape and cotton balls. Refuse to speak or ask questions for 2 hours. First question that does not get a satisfactory response, repeat procedure. If they don't talk after 5th time, victim was killed trying to escape. Move on to the next victim. (All victims should be in the same room to gain maximum effect and best results.)
