PROOF Straight From Gov-Use Of "Electric Shock" Part Of Interrogation Tech
The lawyer then showed a document from the Department of Defense which demonstrates that the use of electric shock was part of the interrogation techniques: the document, dated 18th August 2003, and obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, has a “wish list” and, at the end of the page, among the techniques being discussed, there is “low voltage electro-execution”. “We therefore have credible proof coming straight from the Government which demonstrates the use of electric shock”.

2. WOW! K&R
Anyone else notice the bit on "Stimulus Deprivation" where it plainly states that if the mind does not get "stimulus" it doesn't "maintain resistance to suggestion". In other words TORTURE DOES NOT WORK! The person being tortured will say whatever you want them to say....

4. Or does it mean that they can then tell that person that they did
this or that and the person will accept that as truth and begin to remember the incident as if it had trully happened? Isn't that what brainwashing is all about?

5. The point of torture is not the truth
it is to humiliate, degrade, and dehumanize

it is meant to break the will to resist

confessing to non-existant crimes becomes a good thing then

since when has this administration ever cared about the truth?
