Guantanamo Bay interrogations based on faulty Chinese communist methods
Interrogation techniques used at Guantanamo Bay were based on Chinese communist methods which obtained false confessions from captured US pilots in the Korean War.
American military trainers gave a class to camp interrogators in 2002 on how to use "sleep deprivation", "exposure" and other "torture" methods to reduce captives to "animals" and obtain information.
But it has emerged that the techniques presented in the class were copied word-for-word from a 1957 US Air Force study which focused on Chinese techniques – that did not work.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
I always thought they were based on British methods employed in Northern Ireland until the European Court of Justice got wind of it.
