I'll bet someone read The Gulag Archipelago.

I suppose that you and Brian are more qualified than the Justice dept to determine whether or not the law was properly applied. These techniques were feeble compared to what should have been inflicted to him under Shira law. Maybe we should interrogate them under Shira law so they feel more at home? That way we dont insult their Islamic heritage.

Or maybe we should interrogate them under the laws of the geneva convention like we expect our boys to be interrogated.

You know why they dont fall under Geneva. Our solders do because they are soldiers of a country. Geneva wasnt designed to deal with this.


We need to stop being so damn PC and deal with bad guys like bad guys.

?? I made one post, commenting on how similar our methods are to the old KGB. You're off on your own tangent now. Thanks for taking me along for your wild ride, but no thanks.

I have to say that the new KGB must be more effective because they just up and kill people in broad daylight now. Yeah I'm sure that they were writing memos to the Politoboro asking permission to use interrogation methods in Siberia. What kind of dreamland do you guys live in?

Did you not post and where was your name brought up?

Do you really think that those 10 techniques are comparable to what happened in Russia (and most likely still is?)

I made one post in this thread noting how those techniques are like the old KGB, as Solzhenitsyn wrote in Gulag (and btw as Alex Dolgun, an American embassy employee who was kidnapped off the street in Russia by the KGB during his lunch hour, and was imprisoned, wrote also), so yeah, I do really think that those 10 techniques are comparable to what happened in Russia - because, well, they are.

It's nice that you just make broad assumptions about what I think, especially when I'm not posting about the subject. Saves me the trouble of having to actually participate
