米国の顧問: Waterboardingは苦悶である
木曜日、2007年11月1日
によって レオナルドDoyle 質問に抵抗するために米国の軍隊は兵士を訓練するとき「使用し」 waterboardingように知られている中間年齢からの苦悶の技術を。 世界中の秘密米国の刑務所の恐怖の容疑者のその使用は最も粗い質問の技術のためのブッシュ政権のまじめな熱意を象徴することを来た。 waterboarding世紀にわたるの苦悶として考慮され、米国の軍隊がそれの使用から禁止されるが、CIAによる継続使用上の論争は米国の司法長官のための候補者のブッシュ大統領任命を脱線させることを約あるかもしれない。 ニューヨークからのミハエルMukasey、退職させた連邦判事および複数のベテランは火曜日の上院委員会によってAlQa」 idaの試験、質問され、waterboardingが違法だったかどうか言うために断られた。 その代り、彼は仕事で確認されたら技術を「私」に矛盾した呼び、更に調査すると約束した。 彼は彼が彼が米国の質問者の秘密方法で報告されなかったし、「個人的な法的危険」でそれを使用したCIAの役人を置きたいと思わなかったので練習が違法だったかどうかまだ言うことができなかったことを説明した。 議会は2005年に米国の軍隊のwaterboardingを禁止したのに、CIAのためにそうしなかった。 その結果、Mukaseyこの技術か他の粗い方法が「残酷で、非人間的なまたは低下の」処置を構成したかどうか氏は上院議員を言ったそれは、不確かだった。 彼の答えは民主党員を満足させなかった、しかし彼が苦悶方法が米国の法律に対してあることを言って喜んでであるかどうか、彼の承認は今蝶番を付け。 昨日氏ブッシュのためのそれ以上の当惑では、Malcolm Nance、自国の保安、特別運転および知性の米国部へのテロリズムの顧問は、公に練習を公然と非難した。 彼は使用され、および指示された「何百」ものwaterboarding練習ことをwaterboardingがサンディエゴの米国海軍の存続、回避、抵抗および脱出の学校で訓練で目撃するように要求されることを明らかにした。 これらの最後は医学の監督の下で数分だけ、彼結論した起こり、が「waterboardingが苦悶の技術であることをか。 期間」。 練習は犠牲者の口が強制の開く間、水のパイントが布カバーを通して彼の肺に強制彼の表面であると同時に板に質問されている人を紐で縛ることを含む。 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.
