My pride shouldn't do one of them because, with every purchase, these prevents the tax and resolve only safe, secure peace. I walked into the Pakistan Josh. Clark. Is therefore to hear how the forts that come with me, my fellow staff writer, Charles W Riot power each other well, does she saw not yourself? There may have something to do with our subject matter, exact order which is not find. You know a first, the torture before I wrote this article, should you seem like this kind of a Morpheus blob happened, the poor saps, unlike other countries, right, the more I started researching arm is their torture manual. I did actually several article article that torture it became. A real and it is a real
serious somber, subject that it happens to a lot of people actually, sadly, still today it is, but you have to do your research is not the kind of thing that new. Now it's not true, about now you no one at all over the evening, news now definitely not doesn't go well with dinner at all by it Happen in the things I do happen are very serious the imminent introduction since May two thousand seven raid on a bag, House like a normal has from the outset inside they found allocated torture, manual right and it had. These are basically how to drawings of how to remove an eyeball with a young drill. How'd you how to squeeze a person to death what, by putting their head the visor using ahead clothes iron, for you know, I'm the check right and they also found like that. The instruments
Fourchan like a house of horrors, blow, tortures and drills and right all the stuff you needed to carry out these thing. He adds riskier. So we really kind of raised our are eyebrows around here when that story, broken kind of got us looking into this in dumb or from some research, we found out that that four manuals are not all that on common in the world, scarcely enough and others, pretty much the to arm the two seminal manuals on torture, we're both written by these american CIA? You know about that little bit, I mean they did most of this in an fairness in nineteen fifty right through the research I'd authority, initial researcher, their face, we're trying to figure out what worked and why didn't right and I think what they ve found in what's gonna round the accepted in the torture community is that its size ethical, tortures, really what what gets people talking? Physical torture, doesnt work right, because if your fists forging someone they'll say anything just to keep. You know the collapse of the Naples exactly
they produce is unreliable data. You come to me with the car battery. They're gonna tell you what ever they you wanna hear rail but yeah. What were the first? The first edition came out. Nineteen sixty three after at least a decade of the CIA spiking one another's some drinks with LSD parties right with early next year, is that they also apparently used to experiment on unsuspecting Johns in San Francisco brothels right days. The pretty much. Could you excellently anything it wanted, so they they did all these tests. They they they tested on civilian, they tested on our military, they tested on people who were captured and took all this experience in we voted down and you had the cuban manual right wing
a torture manual. It is, it is exactly this exactly right. Tells you what to do? What not to do why you shouldn't do it? Why you should do it and Cuba is the code word for the CIA in Vietnam? Ok added else can ask without someone's name it was the. It was the code name, useless, yea Vietnam and that's pretty much when it came when it first came into use. That was the first edition. The second edition was pretty much The combination of twenty of using coup bark and finding the right tweaking tweaking the original material based on results from what they get from the prisoners. The information. I would assume that yeah I mean you can test intestine tests, but when you use something in the field, you're gonna really find out what works and what does it right culminated in the human resource exploitation manual. That's that's a fun hate values from ninety three. Twenty years after Cooper came out, and it's very much better, along the same lines. Basically, you know, the rule of thumb is
well, you don't turn the screws on farms, Vienna, radical, tortures, not good psychological works right. Which means, like you know, maybe cranking heavy metal, music really loud? Twenty four seven Holding a water boarding was an issue not too long and still is. Apparently, I knew congresses F kinds, waterborne, very distasteful in researching this. I found that sometimes getting. Congress gets wind of some scandal and dumb hearings in outlaws torture right answer goes: ok, we're not where I can do, except for these fourteen guys who arrive in special and right now, there's fourteen people were authorizing the CIA to use water boarding as an interrogation. Taylor they'll say that we don't want to torture anymore, but we really want to torture. These guys right before we outlined right- and I can see part of me- sees the value in awe in using torture. I'm a utilitarian in many ways where killing one person to save a thousand just makes sense right, but at the same time, is a real grey area like when you start a it's tough decisions
that word. Where do you draw the lie right and how do you separate yourself from the enemy, exactly yea and behave yourself and as a democracy? We have to set an example here, but elsewhere, I believe as well. We just barely scratch the surface, their several torture articles, but the one we're talking about, as is their torture manual. Nuclear read all the mind: how stuff works that count and hang site to find out what article makes one of our colleagues in Thrall right up to this you should know was brought to you by visa. We all have things to think about like say, what's the best site to buy new leather jacket or whether to buy the three or six megapixel camera. But thanks We don't need to think about online fraud because for every purchase you make visa keeps an eye out for fraud with real time, fraud, monitoring and by making sure you're not liable for any unauthorized purchases. Has that forum, of mind, safe, secure
chuck. You wanna tell him well what article it is in what colleagues, yet the colleague is our fellow staff writer Jonathan Strickland in the article is how into market works. Yes, the eating of bugs with eyes. Yes, Mister Stricklin, who is like Chuck said one of our fellow writers is also a fellow
I can assure you- can find his head extra also- and I too good luck with that, but any time that that's on the homepage, his skin kind of crazy freaked out low beard. Maybe I don't know his death more than usual right here. He said when Emily see a spider fell across the floor and Strickland up on his desk yeah, it's pretty bad years, because decisions we have fun with them every April fool's day or in every Tuesday whatever.
