Interrogation techniques at Abu Ghraib
Sounds like good, old-fashioned scare tactics. Itâs amazing how low morale among these jihadis is - simply playing mind games transforms these people in quivering bowls of Jello who will pose for humiliating pictures that can later be used to blackmail them. One (almost) longs for the "death before dishonor" ethos among Japanese prisoners in WWII. These Iraqi terrorist scum are not worth a tenth of those Japanese prisoners from generations ago.
THE United States prison guard holds a snake up to the camera: "This is a sand viper," she says. "One bite will kill you in six hours. Weâve already had two prisoners die of it, but who cares? Thatâs two less for me to worry about."
By her own admission, she was a fearsome guard. The prisoners were scared of her, and she had been in trouble for throwing stones at them. "We actually shot two prisoners today," she says. "One got shot in the chest for swinging a pole against our people on the feed team. One got shot in the arm. We donât know if the one we shot in the chest is dead yet."
