Oh sorry, I didn't mean it was called 'How to torture someone', here is a description of the program:

"Torture: The Guantanamo Guidebook

11:05pm - 12:10am

Channel 4

VIDEO Plus+: 136428
Subtitled


Volunteers submit themselves to the interrogation techniques used by the US armed forces at the Guantánamo camp. How will the treatment affect them, physically and psychologically? With Jon Snow."

Tis brutal stuff, one guys just dropped out, his heartbeat was at a VERY dangerous level. After only ten hours.

watched bits of it and that was some sick stuff
even the FBI agents said it was degrading on their reports and so on
thought the US was suppose to be democricy

I just finished watching it, and frankly It was sickning.
I know war isnt nice or even fair but come on!
We go and fight for "our liberties" and "what we stand for" yet we use tactics that are the exact oposite of "what we stand for".

It was, before Islamic extremists flew airliners into the World Trade Center.

Thought you might need a reminder.

Torture is illegal.

...and therefore the U.S is breaking the law.

Can you show me some PROOF that Islamic Extremists were flying planes into the twin towers as i'm still a bit stuck as to who was responsible for that ?

I thought it was some other group with another Agenda slightly granda plan than Islam's - (I may be mistaken here)

Torture isn't nice at all but neither is letting staving children die each day coz Others with the power won't do naff all about it ...

If it saves a life then what ever means you have at hand.....

Check out this other thread.

Current topic: Torture For Fun

For fun, not for saving lives.

Is torture even an reliable way of getting information? I heard somewhere that people were likely to just say anything just to get it to stop, this would mean that a lot of the info gathered using torture would be unreliable.

dont stand in a uniform
get what you reap
nuh said

so your implying the US is as low as those terrorists
nicely said

In the world now a days everyone is as bad as each other. America can be as bad as the terrorist, the terrorists can be as bad as the British, everyone can be bad, everyone has been bad at some point and people need to realise that the west arn't all angelic and god-like as they make out to be. I'm not trying to stick up for terrorists at all, I just can't stand it when people make comments like 'Oh so your saying that America has done something wrong?'.

Lawrence Welk, MUZAK and as the Mythbusters crew showed, Chinese water torture - drip, drip, drip....

If not, the old bamboo under the fingernails works pretty well as does a good old fashion arse whipping and a head dunk in the water every 5 minutes....

My personal favorite - keel hauling. Argh, shiver me timbers....

Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and dont watch.

You never know when you might need to torture someone.

Calling all ivory tower liberals and college students!!!!

Theres a thick line between being interrogated and tortured, interrogation is questioning without the use of force, torture is inflicting pain on the person to get information.

Who wasnt? Whats your point two wrongs dont make a right.

That show did not have torture!
