Well, just let it serve as a reminder that you should take a little time to check your facts before you end up putting your foot in your mouth.
you could point it out without being such a fucking douche. oh but then you wouldn't be Servolisk, would you?
Well, firstly, I'm not Servolisk... (Reading, boys and girls. Reading...)
Secondly, I take the extra time to verify my facts and check sources which you sadly don't seem to take the effort to do. And when somebody calls you out on it, you start crying foul rather than address the point at hand?
And anyways, that doesn't disprove anything I said. It just leaves it as unsubstantiated
Otherwise known as being not credible.
But hey, since I'm feeling especially nice, I'll go the extra mile and lets look up information from somebody who actually participated in the interrogation of Abu Zubaydah. Taken from Newsweek.
Newsweek wrote:
Last week [Ali] Soufan, 37, now a security consultant who spends most of his time in the Middle East, decided to tell the story of his involvement in the Abu Zubaydah interrogations publicly for the first time. In an op-ed in The New York Times and in a series of exclusive interviews with NEWSWEEK, Soufan described how he, together with FBI colleague Steve Gaudin, began the interrogation of Abu Zubaydah. They nursed his wounds, gained his confidence and got the terror suspect talking. They extracted crucial intelligence—including the identity of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed as the architect of 9/11 and the dirty-bomb plot of Jose Padilla—before CIA contractors even began their aggressive tactics.
"I've kept my mouth shut about all this for seven years," Soufan says. But now, with the declassification of Justice memos and the public assertions by Cheney and others that "enhanced" techniques worked, Soufan feels compelled to speak out. "I was in the middle of this, and it's not true that these [aggressive] techniques were effective," he says. "We were able to get the information about Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in a couple of days. We didn't have to do any of this [torture]. We could have done this the right way."

but you still dodge my original post, and my first follow up, in typical servolisk style. fuck off)
Hmmm... I'm not Servolisk, but lets look up your first post in this thread, shall we? It does contain a point that should be addressed.

It does make me want to try. I promise to record and post it if I do, but only if you bastards promise to rate it 5/5. =D
Fun fact: Waterboarding is performed specifically because it induces the gag reflex (as opposed to just shoving someone's head in a bucket of water). It's easy to say that you have control when you're sitting in front of your PC, but the reality is once you lose physical control of your body (which is what the gag reflex will do), attempting to breathe (automatically) and find yourself taking in water you'll quickly enter a state of panic. Simply put, holding your breath will not work.

headbanga would you be kind enough to elaborate if rape counts as an enhanced interrogation technique or is it immoral and shouldnt be done?
Please also state why and how its different from waterboarding since none of them cause any physical damage, just psychological.

Wow! You can throw insults. I'm most impressed! It's a pity that making a well-informed post substantiated by actual logic, reasoning and evidence is a little bit too demanding for you, but keep trying.

This post has been purposely removed at the request of baal, since he confused me with HeadBangaa but wanted to leave his question there open for answer.

the thing is that it's a pretty common "trick"
Person A makes a statement, person B agrees.
Person C in the opposition questions B's agreement, if B can't defend his posture that means A is wrong right?
if it's just opinionated garbage then why not pick it apart instead?

that was his point: you can't pick apart an opinion

1) Yes you can.
2) Doing so does not discredit the argument on which the opinion is based.

what? that doesnt make any sense.
good night.

What is really scary is what happens when
1. The enemy finds out you're using waterboarding
2. Trains their people to resist it
3. Gives them false information to feed to the Americans
4. And have Americans feel that the information must be valid because it was extracted under torture
why do they need special training to tell a lie?
|
Because, as i imagine, the torture won't stop for every lie you made up. If your tortures don't believe you, you have to keep up with your lie for a long time and many "sessions".
Thats why lying requires training.

also the lie would be more credible if it was co-ordinated from several sources.

Wait so if the terrorists tells them something they will automatically think its a lie? What if they tell the truth first and they assume thats a lie, and then they keep torturing them until he tells a lie and they believe that?
|
thats why torturing is so unreliable. also "truth serums" cant really work. if you pump to much into the victim he wont remember shit if you dont pump enough he is conscious enough to not tell you. btw. truth serums are stuff like acid.
a lot of torture/truthfinding methods were scientifically researched by the germans in the 1930's and 40's. the CIA took over that knowledge and continued some of it.

Don't know where you get that story from, how it is relevant to this thread, and, what's so funny about it?
If you are referring to the Cannibal of Rotenburg, they both wanted to eat the penis of the victim, he did not bleed to death but was killed by the cannibal and the recorded video was obviously not meant for TV. It is a pretty gruesome story though....
