From a New York Times article on the decision to use torture:
"The Communists do not look upon these assaults as 'torture,' " one 1956 study concluded. "But all of them produce great discomfort, and lead to serious disturbances of many bodily processes; there is no reason to differentiate them from any other form of torture."
Worse, the study found that under such abusive treatment, a prisoner became "malleable and suggestible, and in some instances he may confabulate."
That's a US government report on the interrogation techniques used by Communist China on US prisoners, which produced false confessions.
The Bush administration's program of torture was based on the Chinese techniques. |
