When I went through the training in '70, in Coronado Calif., I already was having trouble breathing due to sinus actup, than the water soaked cloth followed by the slowly pouring water, during the survival part before the escape than the resistance.
When done you had two trainers, acting as the enemy, strapping you to the board, than one pouring the water over the cloth, the other, though you're only thinking of trying to breath, checking your pulse.
Bush Admin. Blocked Waterboarding Critic
Though it would last only seconds it felt like very long minutes.
Levin states what I thought:
After the experience, Levin told White House officials that even though he knew he wouldn't die, he found the experience terrifying and thought that it clearly simulated drowning.
Former DOJ Official Tested the Method Himself, in Effort to Form Torture Policy
At least one hoped these guys knew what they were doing and would stop before a dangerous situation developed, like heart stoppage from the trauma.
In training precautions are taking place, in reality those precautions are non existant!
And than this is offered:
According to retired Rear Adm. John Hutson, "There is no question this is torture -- this is a technique by which an individual is strapped to a board, elevated by his feet and either dunked into water or water poured over his face over a towel or a blanket."
In the video Brian Ross states what the CIA has reported "That this has only been done on three individuals in their custody".
That's bullshit, if it's in their bag of interrogation methods it's being done on many more than just three people, and probably more than once to each!
He also states, again what the CIA is saying, "That it isn't being done now, so where's the fuss", not in those exact words but you get the jist.
Again, that's probably bullshit, those idiots who think it really works are still doing it, and especially those being sent to countries we once condemned for practicing torture and human rights violations, and Actually still do Condemn!
It is also mentioned that because of it's use the government has been able to Stop further 'Criminal Terrorist' actions, funny how none of these have been reported, can't be because of it compromising our intelligence gathering they've already stated it was from 'Torturing'!
We no longer can Condemn others for 'Human Rights' Violations!
We Have Become The Leaders In These Violations, and These Techniques Don't Work!
When 'We' practice Torture 'We' put our Military and Society in Danger of like Retribution!
So please, when Americans are killed by others, don't Think or Say "Why do they hate us so!"
We have the answer of the present and what our government has done in our names, to others by our failed foreign policies, give us the answer for the past!
