Bush Uses Communist Torture |
|
|
A chart used by trainers at Guantanamo Bay was copied verbatim from a 1957 Air Force study of Chinese Communist techniques used during the Korean War to obtain confessions from American prisoners.
Interrogators at Guantanamo were taught to use the exact same methods as the Chinese communists did during the Korean War -- to extort false confessions. The Chinese employed these techniques primarily to turn American POWs into propaganda tools. After being subjected to cold or sleeplessness or muscle cramping long enough, most human beings will sign anything just to end their torment.
The Chinese didn't invent these techniques. They were perfected in the Soviet Union after the Russian Revolution. The Soviets turned torture and the coercion of confessions into a fine art; it mass-produced hundreds of thousands of 'enemies of the state' who had done nothing worse than, say, travel abroad or fall into the cross-hairs of a malicious secret accuser.
The Gestapo as well as the Chinese communists studied the NKVD's practices closely. So did the Bush administration.
That's right. The Bush Administration used methods of the Evil Empire that were followed by the Nazi's and used against American's by the Chinese Communists to get bogus confessions from "enemy combatants."
As Noted by the Tacoma News Tribune Editorial Board: "There is something worse than losing to your enemy: It is becoming your enemy."
