This is something left over from April Fool’s Day - right???
Let a hungry Pig or a Dog eat their feet and they will talk.
What percent of time does it work? Anything above zero might be worth it.
Horsesh*t! Torture wouldn’t have been around for thousands of years if these morons were right. Torture works regardless of what “science” with liberal government grants says.
Ask Jose Rodriguez if enhanced interrogation works.
I guess that’s why torture has been employed successfully for literally thousands of years. If it didn’t work nobody would do it. If you could get people to talk by buying them donuts then governments would have the best donuts.
Regardless if we should do this stuff or not, I’m not sure any of that stuff is really torture. Folks have volunteered for waterboarding and sleep deprivation. Nobody in the history of the world ever volunteered to test out the new model thumbscrews or iron boots.
Freegards
Science shows that NEWSWEAK was sold for one dollar.
I have to believe torture, if done right, is effective.
Put her in the Comfy Chair!! Then we’ll see her confess!!
These people are idiots.
I didn't see any soldiers at Warner Springs when I went through SERE - and was water boarded, twice.
Water boarding works, and these morons are clueless...
Phony torture gets phony information. Science proves it.
Professionals assume someone who has been really tortured- say to a horrible death- has told all.
So when catch the terrorist who has a dirty bomb set to blow in Manhattan in one hour, do we give him a nice banana split sundae or strap him into a chair with a new pair of pruning shears starting at his left pinkie finger, top joint till he talks?
Tough choice....I don’t know....
Like other enhanced measures, waterboarding cannot be tested in a laboratory for ethical reasons, but there is a sizable amount of relevant scientific literature on it. As O’Mara shows in his book, studies of the “diving reflex” (a set of physiological responses that occur when mammals, including humans, are submerged in water) have demonstrated that immersion in cold water moves brain activity away from areas supporting memory to those “principally concerned with survival,” such as the brainstem and amygdala, which regulate fear, pain and stress. By occluding the airways, waterboarding starves people of air, and there is a “huge literature” showing that lack of oxygen (hypoxia) harms cognition, O’Mara tells Newsweek. He highlights one recent study, which found that hypoxia “severely impairs” a person’s cognitive abilities. Furthermore, waterboarding causes carbon dioxide to accumulate in the body (hypercapnia), which induces fear and panic. In this situation, the ability to think and recall information will be “markedly reduced,” he says.
Not saying it is ethical to do waterboard studies. But neither is it ethical to claim that science was conducted on the question when it has not been.
Lets see... the 2014 Senate had a 53-seat Democrat majority which rushed this conclusion out there to de-legitimize everything done by the Bush Administration after they got smoked in that November's elections. Total BS.
It’s not about accurate information ... it’s about scaring the heck outta the guy AFTER the one you caught. Torture one in front of the other and don’t even ask any questions. Then see what #2 has to say.
Just sayin.
Obviously those “scientists” weren’t tortured enough.
