Enhanced Interrogation Techniques



A METHOD STILL IN USE TODAY

UNFASHIONABLE TODAY


Enhanced Interrogation Techniques have according to Human Rights Watch been taking place here in Europe.

Torture is nothing new. It is as old as the tribe.

The two exhibits shown above were amongst many on display at an exhibition of medieval torture techniques and implements which I recently saw at an ancient castle in Austria.


A MEDIEVAL CASTLE


Amongst the tools one associates with the modern torture chamber are the euphemisms.

I think today's modern torturers have a need to distance themselves from their authorized deeds, they have to lessen the impact of their daily work on their own minds.

They must at all costs avoid any feelings of guilt which might lead to them becoming mentally deranged and consequently unable to fit back into society and family when their work is done.

And so comfortable sounding words are invented and used.

Poland, Rumania and Lithuania have now been named as CIA Black Sites in Europe. These countries are EU States and subject to EU standards. It is therefore imperative that the EU investigate any allegations of CIA torture in these countries thoroughly. 

It beggars belief that Poland, after all the horrors of the Third Reich would allow herself to be involved in any way in an officially sanctioned kidnapping and torture enterprise.

The Poles in particular, and the rest of us in the general must be told the absolute truth. If crimes have been committed there must be consequences.


A EUROPEAN UNION MOUSEPAD


Even my humble mousepad points the way the EU has to move now.

  1. Gwil, sometimes I am so appalled by the things that go on in the so-called civilised world that I think I shall never read another newspaper and never watch another news broadcast. But that would be burying my head in the sand

  2. All evidence of David Miliband's and Jack Straw's torture knowledge will make interesting reading and should be revealed. We have torture exhibits in Norwich Castle and today. Nothing has changed.

  3. I'm sure we will all follow developments closely. It is our duty for the sake of children.
