"* Research and medical experimentation on detainees was used to measure the effects of large- volume waterboarding and adjust the procedure according to the results. After medical monitoring and advice, the CIA experimentally added saline, in an attempt to prevent putting detainees in a coma or killing them through over-ingestion of large amounts of plain water. The report observes: "'Waterboarding 2.0' was the product of the CIA's developing and field-testing an intentionally harmful practice, using systematic medical monitoring and the application of subsequent generalizable knowledge." * Health professionals monitored sleep deprivation on more than a dozen detainees in 48-, 96- and 180-hour increments. This research was apparently used to monitor and assess the effects of varying levels of sleep deprivation to support legal definitions of torture and to plan future sleep deprivation techniques. * Health professionals appear to have analyzed data, based on their observations of 25 detainees who were subjected to individual and combined applications of "enhanced" interrogation techniques, to determine whether one type of application over another would increase the subject's "susceptibility to severe pain." The alleged research appears to have been undertaken only to assess the legality of the "enhanced" interrogation tactics and to guide future application of the techniques."

So they experimented on their prisoners to find the most effective torture techniques without killing them. Dr. Mengele would be proud.

This is so 2007.

Clearly you know nothing about Josef Mengele and made an idiotic comparison for the sake of sensationalism.

Maybe they were testing all this on twins, Mr. Joshua.

literally

Yeah, twin jihadists... that were really closet jews.

Obama Administration is literally NAZI ZOMBIES

Quote :

"As recently as February, 2010, President Obama's then director of national intelligence, Admiral Dennis Blair, disclosed that the US had established an elite interrogation unit that will conduct "scientific research" to improve the questioning of suspected terrorists."

Nice thread title God...almost as good as this one

something seems grammatically askance in this thread title.


And look, the Nazis were the only real Nazis. No one west of the Caucasus has executed killing on such a precise and massive scale. Sure the Communists slaughtered exponentially more, but their actions were more wanton and capricious.


I despise the Bush administration, I feel like the GOP undeniably has a strong fascist wing, but they're not Nazis Walter.

I somehow dont think this is "literally" nazis, unless youre using the Conservative media's definition of "literally."

6/14/2010 10:18:28 PM

Well, not the literal definition of "literal".

6/14/2010 10:21:11 PM

*whew* Thank God we're arguing etymology and word choice.

6/14/2010 10:23:06 PM

^ you haven't been paying attention to TV "news" recently, have you?

6/14/2010 10:31:02 PM

Well, if they're going to do something that may be immoral and dangerous I'd rather they take notes and analyze data when they do it so that they can do it with increased efficiency and safety subsequent times. That way we're not putting prisoners at undue risk or paying our interrogators unnecessary overtime.

Stupid thread maker is stupid

6/15/2010 6:47:24 AM

Mr. Joshua is owning the fuck out of this thread.

6/15/2010 9:05:10 AM

I guess we worked the dark side all right.
