GG100310: To Quell Any Lingering Doubts
March 10, 2010
Waterboarding for Dummies — Interrogators were instructed to start pouring water right after a detainee exhaled, to ensure he inhaled water, not air, in his next breath. They could use their hands to “dam the runoff” and prevent water from spilling out of a detainee’s mouth. They were allowed six separate 40-second “applications” of liquid in each two-hour session—and could dump water over a detainee’s nose and mouth for a total of 12 minutes a day. Finally, to keep detainees alive even if they inhaled their own vomit during a session—a not-uncommon side effect of waterboarding—the prisoners were kept on a liquid diet. — Is torture, no? —

If they didn’t want to be interrogated enhancingly (I like that invention, reminds one of enchantingly), they shouldn’t have been detainees.
So true.
More stump, please.
