And this is in addition to earlier revelations about torture techniques adapted from those troops are trained against in the SERE program. Those techniques were mostly Soviet methods designed to elicit false confessions which is why our troops were being trained to deal with them, and the fake tough-guys in this administration decided they’d be a good way to get accurate information.
“If they’re this effective with false confessions, imagine what they could do with real ones!” *sigh*
We’re the nation that split the atom and put a man on the moon. We invented lightbulbs and airplanes. That we have sunk so far so fast depresses the hell out of me.
