Not Torture! Just "Enhanced interrogation Techniques"

That's the "spin" being put on accusations that the CIA tortured prisoners. Yes it was simply " Enhanced interrogation Techniques" not "torture as previously suspected. Yeah right.

According to a former CIA officer these "enhanced techniques" were "bad interrogation. I mean, you can get anyone to confess to anything if the torture's bad enough." There were a total of 6 "new techniques" used, with one in particular reported as working instantly! This technique had the prisoner tied to a board with his feet higher than his head, his face wrapped in cellophane. Water is then poured over him, he gags,and BEGS to confess .At this point he'll confess to anything, because he fears he is being killed. Trouble is, confessions like these are at best suspect and at worst wild goose chases, because the prisoner is in some cases just making things up to save his life. These interrogations are illegal under international law because they amount to "mock executions".
