And I just wonder who these foreign intelligence services are that practice a more hands on technique...

[Consort]

Stress and duress beats cuddle and caress. It's the old bad cop/bad cop technique.

There should be only one rule: Just don't kill 'em, because dead mean don't talk.

Suicide murderers are inhumane. Do what is necessary to get the intel for countering it. PERIOD. I understand the 'drowning response' works well.

[Righty1]

I guess that we should let them go so that they can tell el-jism how weak and soft we are on their way to their next assignment/slaughter?

[wretchard]

And I just wonder who these foreign intelligence services are that practice a more hands on technique...

Why, those of Pakistan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, Algeria or Yemen.. This is doubly ironical. The prisoners get to be treated under their beloved sharia law, with its panoply of mutilations, whippings and torments. The United States gets to defend freedom with every refinement of tyranny. Of course, it is war and on the battlefield the only laws that survive are the laws of physics. Yet all the more reason to win this victory quickly, because war, and its attendant horrors, is dehumanizing for everybody. Win the war and win it as soon as possible.

Dear Washinton Post,
There are bad guys and there are good guys. We are the good guys.

WASHINGTON - CIA interrogators have been using "stress and duress" techniques on captured enemies in Afghanistan that blur the line between legal and inhumane, the Washington Post reported on Thursday.

So what does the Post think we should being doing .. talk nice to them in hopes they will be nice to us??

The Turks, and possibly the Egpytians.

"....the Post said, citing intelligence specialists said to be familiar with CIA interrogation methods."

This whole article is based on this?
It's a joke, right?

[Nick Danger]

[Humidston]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww.

I bet Jimmy Nobel P.P. Carter wouldn't treat them as harshly as Bush does.

So sad.

Heheh.

[Lancey Howard]

The only excerpts that really matter:

U.S. officials have said little publicly about the captives' names, numbers or whereabouts, and virtually nothing about interrogation methods.

But the Post said it had gained insights thanks to interviews with several former intelligence officials and 10 current U.S. national security officials - including several people who said they had witnessed the handling of prisoners.

"The picture that emerges is of a brass-knuckled quest for information, often in concert with allies of dubious human rights reputation, in which the traditional lines between right and wrong, legal and inhumane, are evolving and blurred," the Post reported.

The above crap, folks, is Exhibit 1 in the "how-to" manual for making up a story (and a headline) where no story exists in the real world.

100% pure speculation.
100% dog feces.
100% liberal scumbag Washington Post, at the top of its game.

Un-freakin'-believable.

Even if all this were true (which I highly doubt) I think these dudes are coming out a whole lot better than some 3,000 people did on 9/11 ..... at least they still have the privilege of breathing.

[Monty22]

I've seen some of this VILE and STUPID nonsense here:
http://www.msnbc.com/news/851762.asp?0cv=CA00

F the terrorist, F what they stand for.. F any media that openly is in support of them.

This is a disasterous FRAUD of msnbc at this point.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Have these reporters already forgotten September 11?? I don't care if the questioning offends the sensibilities of these leftists or not. The goal is to find out where the terrorists are and kill them.

We didn't start this: we were working and living and loving on September 11 2001, and we were attacked. Our goal now is to bring to justice those who did and this and who'll do it again or worse.

After the next terrorist attack (I believe there will be one) these same newspapers will be asking why the administration didn't do 'enough' to get information from our Al Qaeda prisoner population.

CIA interrogations verging on inhumane

Good. I'm sure they are more productive that way.

[A Navy Vet]

If "inhumane" interrogations of the recognized bad guys save one innocent man, woman, or child, I am all for it. Although I've never seen someone tortured, and try to be a sympathetic man, I have no reservations about supporting what's needed to stop the slaughter of non-combatants. If that makes me a bad person in the eyes of God - so be it.

Anyone who puts their naive "feelings for humanity" before their loved ones and the innocent is a fool not to be suffered.

[WoofDog123]

This article is interesting; it is almost like a trial balloon to see if the public is ready for priming against the methods the u.s. government uses against the enemy in this war.

The Post doesn't get it. People EXPECT the government to use sodium penethol on the psycho arabs who work with al-qaeda, not to refrain for fear of upsetting the NYT.WP types. Once again, the WP builds support for the bush admin. out of sheer cluelessness.

Frankly, WAR is Hell on Earth. One side "wins" and the other side loses. The WAR against terrorism is a serious subject --- something that the pc crowd will never be able to intellectually grasp.
