Re: [Clips] U.S. Has Detained 83,000 in War on Terror

No, its where you nearly drown someone, by teeter-tottering him into a tub, not just "run water over him". For extra fun blows with a rifle butt while submerged add poignancy. But the "leaders" don't let amerikans see coffins, much less understand the rest of what they're doing. -------- Cryptome has some pix of some vests. I wonder how long it will be before some commando with an intra-thoracic bomb (with magnetic through-the-skin detonator) will take out a plane. An "I've got magnetic staples" medical card can't be too hard to get.

Nothing unusual about the press getting things wrong. As I understand it, you bind someone to a board, incline it fairly steeply with feet above head, and dunk just their head. They actually feel like they're drowning, but since the lungs are above water level, it's hard for them to actually drown. Harder, at least, than it would be to suffocate them using cellophane and dunking them, which is the version I got from the media. Pneumonia and things of that sort might be a problem, if the torturee isn't in great health. -- The six phases of a project: I. Enthusiasm. IV. Search for the Guilty. II. Disillusionment. V.
