미국 고문관: Waterboarding는 고문이다
목요일, 2007년 11월 1일
에 의하여 Leonard Doyle 심문을 저항하기 위하여 미국 군은 군인을 훈련할 때, "사용해" waterboarding로 알려져 있는 중년에서 고문 기술을. 전세계 은밀한 미국 형무소에 있는 공포 용의자에 그것의 사용은 가장 가혹한 심문 기술을 위한 부시 행정부의 실제적인 열의를 상징하기 위하여 왔다. waterboarding 세기에 동안 고문이라고 여겨지고 미국 군이 그것 사용에서 금지되더라도, CIA에 의하여 그것의 계속되 사용에 논쟁은 검사 일반 미국을 위한 후보자의 부시 대통령 약속을 탈선하는 것을 대략 일지도 모른다. 뉴욕에서 마이클 Mukasey, 은퇴된 연방 판사 및 몇몇의 노병은 화요일에 상원 위원회에 의해 알루미늄 Qa' ida 예심, 심문받고 waterboarding가 불법 이었다는 것을 말하기 위하여 사절되었다. 대신, 그는 그가 일에서 확인된 경우에 기술을 "저"에게 반감이라고 칭하고 더깊이 조사하고 약속했다. 그는 그가 그가 미국 심문자의 은밀한 방법에 요약되지 않으며기 "개인 법적인 위험"에서 그것을 사용한 CIA 장교를 두고기 싶지 않았기 때문에 연습이 불법 이었다는 것을 아직 말할 수 없었다는 것을 설명했다. 비록 의회는 2005년에 미국 군에서 waterboarding를 금지했더라도, CIA를 위해 이렇게 하지 않았다. 그 결과로, Mukasey 이 기술 또는 다른 가혹한 방법이 "잔인하고, 잔인한 또는 타락" 처리를 창설했다는 것을 씨는 상원의원 말했다, 그것을 미심쩍었다. 그 응답은 민주주의자를 만족시키지 않았다, 그러나 그가 고문 방법이 미국 법률에 대하여 다고 말하게 기꺼이 한ㄴ다는 것을, 그의 승인은 지금 위에 경첩을 달고. 어제 씨 부시를 위한 더 당황에서는, Malcolm Nance, 국토 안보, 특별 가동 및 정보의 미국 부에 공포정치에 고문관은, 공중으로 연습을 비난했다. 그는 사용되고, 그리고 waterboarding 운동의 감독된 "수백" waterboarding가 샌디에고에 있는 미국 해군의 생존, 기피, 저항 및 도주 학교에 훈련에서 목격하는 주장된ㄴ다는 것을 계시했다. 이 마지막은 의학 감독의 밑에 몇 분만, 그 단정했다 일어나고 "waterboarding가 고문 기술다는 것을? 기간". 연습은 피해자의 입이 강제의 여는 동안 물의 파인트가 피복 덮음을 통해서 그의 폐로 강제적 그의 얼굴인 때 널에게 위에 질문되어 사람을 견장을 다는 포함한다. 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.
