عندما ال [أوس] يدرّب جيش جنديات أن يقاوم إستجواب, هو يستعمل تعذيب تقنية من الأعمار متوسّطة, يعرف بما أنّ "[وتربوأردينغ]". قد أتى إستعماله على ذعر مشبوهات في سرّيّة [أوس] سجون حول العالم إلى [سمبوليس] ال [بوش دمينيسترأيشن] [نو-نونسنس] حماسة ل ال [هرشست] يستنطق تقنيات. رغم أنّ [وتربوأردينغ] يتلقّى يكون اعتبرت تعذيب ل على قرن وال [أوس] جيش يكون حظرت من يستعمل هو, جدال على ه يستمرّ إستعمال بالوكالة المخابرات الأمريكيّة يمكن كنت حوالي أن يخرج التعيين من رئيس بوش مرشح ل [أوس] [أتّورن-جنرل]. استنطقت مايكل [موكسي], يتقاعد قاضية فيديراليّة من نيويورك ومحارب قديم من عدّة [أل-قا]' [إيدا] محاكمات, كان بمجلس الشيوخ لجنة في يوم الثلاثاء ورفضت أن يقول ما إذا [وتربوأردينغ] كان غير شرعيّ. بدلا من ذلك, دعا هو التقنية "معارضة إلى ي" ووعد أن يتحرّى أبعد إن هو كان أكّدت في الشغل. هو فسّر أنّ هو استطاع لم يقل بعد ما إذا كان الممارسة غير شرعيّ لأنّ هو تلقّى لم يكن لخّصت على الطرق سرّيّة من [أوس] مستجوبات وهو لم يرد أن يضع الوكالة المخابرات الأمريكيّة ضابطات الذي استعمل هو في "شخصيّة جائز خطر". [إفن ثوو] إجتماع حظر [وتربوأردينغ] في ال [أوس] جيش في 2005, لم يتمّ هو هكذا لالوكالة المخابرات الأمريكيّة. [أس ا رسولت], سيد [موكسي] يقال عضو مجلس الشيوخ, كان هو غير متأكّد ما إذا هذا تقنية أو أخرى طرق قاسية مثّل "قاسية, قاسية أو يحقّر" معالجة. لم يرض جواباته الديموقراتيات, مهما, وموافقته الآن يدور فوق ما إذا هو مستعدّة أن يقول التعذيب طريقة ضدّ [أوس] قانون. في حيرة بعيد لسيد بوش بالأمس, شجب مالكولم [ننس], مستشارة على إرهاب إلى ال [أوس] أقسام من وطن أمن, عمليات خاصّة وذكاء, علنا الممارسة. He revealed that waterboarding is used in training at the US Navy’s Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape School in San Diego, and claimed to have witnessed and supervised “hundreds” of waterboarding exercises. رغم أنّ هذا يتمّ أخرى فقط [ا فو] دقائق وتحت مراقبات طبيّة, هو استنتج أنّ "[وتربوأردينغ] تعذيب تقنية? فترة". يتضمّن الممارسة يحزم الشخص يكون يستجوب فوق إلى لوح بما أنّ باينتات الماء يكونون قسريّة داخل رئاته من خلال قماش يغطّي وجهه بينما الضحية فم يكون قسريّة يفتح. Its effect, according to Mr Nance, is a process of slow-motion suffocation. Typically, a victim goes into hysterics on the board as water fills his lungs. “How much the victim is to drown,” Mr Nance wrote in an article for the Small Wars Journal, “depends on the desired result and the obstinacy of the subject. “A team doctor watches the quantity of water that is ingested and for the physiological signs which show when the drowning effect goes from painful psychological experience to horrific, suffocating punishment, to the final death spiral. For the uninitiated, it is horrifying to watch.” The CIA director Michael Hayden has tried to defuse the controversy. He claims that, since 2002, aggressive interrogation methods in which a prisoner believes he is about to die have been used on only about 30 of the 100 al-Qai’da suspects being held by the US. Meanwhile, a CIA official told The New York Times waterboarding had only been used three times. The Bush administration has suggested that the interrogation of al-Qai’da’s second-in-command, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, was a success thanks to the technique, and used this to justify continued aggressive interrogations of suspects in secret CIA prisons. While US media reports typically state that waterboarding involves “simulated drowning”, Mr Nance explained that “since the lungs are actually filling with water”, there is nothing simulated about it. “Waterboarding,” he said, “is slow-motion suffocation with enough time to contemplate the inevitability of blackout and expiration. When done right, it is controlled death.” Mr Nance said US troops were trained to withstand waterboarding, watched by a doctor, a psychologist, an interrogator and a backup team. “When performed with even moderate intensity over an extended time on an unsuspecting prisoner ? it is torture, without doubt,” he added. “Most people cannot stand to watch a high-intensity, kinetic interrogation. One has to overcome basic human decency to endure watching or causing the effects. The brutality would force you into a personal moral dilemma between humanity and hatred. It would leave you to question the meaning of what it is to be an American.” Mr Mukasey’s nomination goes before the Senate next week. Three Democratic presidential candidates, including Hillary Clinton, have already said they will not support him. However, the White House said yesterday that it did not believe his nomination was in jeopardy. ‘I felt I was drowning and I was in terrible agony’ Henri Alleg, a journalist, was tortured in 1957 by French forces in Algeria. He described the ordeal of water torture in his book The Question. Soldiers strapped him over a plank, wrapped his head in cloth and positioned it beneath a running tap. He recalled: “The rag was soaked rapidly. Water flowed everywhere: in my mouth, in my nose, all over my face. But for a while I could still breathe in some small gulps of air. I tried, by contracting my throat, to take in as little water as possible and to resist suffocation by keeping air in my lungs for as long as I could. But I couldn’t hold on for more than a few moments. I had the impression of drowning, and a terrible agony, that of death itself, took possession of me. In spite of myself, all the muscles of my body struggled uselessly to save me from suffocation. In spite of myself, the fingers of both my hands shook uncontrollably. ‘That’s it! He’s going to talk,’ said a voice. The water stopped running and they took away the rag. I was able to breathe. In the gloom, I saw the lieutenants and the captain, who, with a cigarette between his lips, was hitting my stomach with his fist to make me throw out the water I had swallowed.” From: Alleg, Henri, The Question, University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln: 2006; original French edition ? 1958 by Editions de Minuit Have Your Say: US advisor: Waterboarding is torture Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
