The military trainers who came to Guant?namo Bay in December 2002 based an entire interrogation class on a chart showing the effects of ?coercive management techniques? for possible use on prisoners, including ?sleep deprivation,? ?prolonged constraint,? and ?exposure.?

What the trainers did not say, and may not have known, was that their chart had been copied verbatim from a 1957 Air Force study of Chinese Communist techniques used during the Korean War to obtain confessions, many of them false, from American prisoners.

The recycled chart is the latest and most vivid evidence of the way Communist interrogation methods that the United States long described as torture became the basis for interrogations both by the military at the base at Guant?namo Bay, Cuba, and by the Central Intelligence Agency.

so in other words it's torture when the chinese do it but "gentle persuastion" when the americans do it

I guess the commies had some use after all
 
Yeah, after reading that waterboard article about the guy who did it too him self, it really makes me angry at the US interrigation techniques.
 
Why even torture to get a confession? Seems like a waste of time when according to the white house if they repeat the same evidance 3 times it automatically becomes true:

The judges were particularly concerned with government assertions that the evidence was reliable because it was repeated in separate documents and that officials would not have included the information if it were not dependable.

"Lewis Carroll notwithstanding, the fact the government has 'said it thrice' does not make an allegation true," wrote Judge Merrick B. Garland, quoting from Carroll's poem "The Hunting of the Snark."

The panel, which included Chief Judge David B. Sentelle and Judge Thomas B. Griffith, also expressed skepticism about the evidence because the Chinese government may have supplied some of it.

"Parhat has made a credible argument that -- at least for some of the assertions -- the common source is the Chinese government, which may be less than objective with respect to the Uighurs," Garland wrote.

And remember:

What the Federal government orders done to its prisoners of war, it can order done to you!

Remember that supposedly they are not prisoners of war but 'unlawful combatants'.

Which is bullshit, but anyway.
