To be precise, the Soviets sent a squad of GRU Spetznats troops to Lebanon who kidnaped one of the sons of the then head of Hizbolah which had engineered most of the kidnapings. After castrating the son, the Soviets sent the parts in a package via contacts with a simple note, "release our men or we will send the son back piece by piece". The ploy worked and the Hiszbolah and their cohorts never touched a Soviet diplomat after that.

Lock them in a room with a Bose 24 speaker system and play..."Wham's" ."Wake Me Up Before Ya Go"....for 48 hrs.

Why waste time? A couple of hours of Wayne Newton's "Danke Schoen" will suffice.

LOL...the Chinese water torture test for the new age

Drawing on classified legal memorandums, the Bush Administration has concluded that executive orders banning assassinations do not prevent the president from lawfully singling out a terrorist for death by covert action.

Interesting...

The lawyers are involved, so they are balking, just like the JAG boys did on the first night of the bombing when the Air Force missed Mullah Omar.Its the price paid for being a nation of laws.

Another former CIA operations officer, who served extensively in the Middle East, said he had urged CIA officials to consider assassinating known financiers of al-Qaeda. "I said if you start killing guys who write cheques, people are going to stop writing cheques."

This has to be the way to go. You give us a Jihad, we give you a Jihad right back. It's the only thing Jihadists understand.

Kidnaping family, pulling fingernails. Bull shit.

I have no qualms about choping heads from the Talliban and impailing them on stakes for all to see and take heed but this torture business is the downfall of our civilization.

When my coutry begins such a course of action as torture, I shall declare war upon the new owners of my country. Please take note, any of you newly empowered Net tappers.

Elmo's Guide For: Information Extraction

• Step 1: Isolate and Strip terrorist of all clothing placing subject in 8x8 cell with overhead 400 watt halogen lamp
• Deprive subject of food, water, and sleep for a period of 48 hours
• Provide meal of molded crusty bread followed immediately by High-Pressure water hosing to the point of near drowning every 8 hours
• When subject becomes disoriented and attempts to sleep, immediately enter cell and administer 2 to 3 open-handed cuffs to either side of subject's face followed by High-Pressure water hosing to the point of near drowning
• After initial cycle repeat process, being sure to vary the timing (2 -4 hours) between each session
• Cycle should be repeated until desired effect is established, namely that the terrorist is begging to tell you everyting.
• In event that these steps fail, immediately execute terrorist via firing squad or available means...after all this is war.
