I've a friend who is an ex-navy diver and he
described the various uses of the chamber. When
he was training people he gave 'em a little sample
of how bad things could get if they did pay attention and follow procedures.

#6 Shipman: No. I am an only child. Why do you ask? Could there be someone else that believes that there should be NO artificial niceties in this war for survival?

#5  Diving compression/de-compression chambers. Put them in and pressurize them, then let off the pressure too fast. When they are shrieking in agony, bring up the pressure. Rinse & repeat as many times as necessary!

Inform them that between every session, operatives will be out working to verify their information, if they lie, they suffer.

P.S. I'm trying to get on with KBR as an interrogator right now. That's right, we're using contractors to do some of the nasty work. Isn't life grand?

#4  Gee, I'd been thinking along the lines of "enthusiastic interrogation" of Zarqawi and the like, "enthusiastic" being defined under methods that leave open wounds and increasingly fewer limbs. In between the sessions, any owwies could be salved with pig fat and the excreta mentioned by tu3031.

But seriously folks (and no, I wasn't being entirely facetious with the above...) we've been awfully restrained in our approaches, humane, civilized even. First, we capture them alive, when their crimes (especially war crimes, given that they admit they're at war) merit an immediate death penalty. On top of that, we feed & clothe them at least as well as Geneva calls for, keeping in mind that Convention adherents give a nod & wink toward "proscribed" methods of interrogation such as sleep deprivation.

We're acting terribly humane, maybe even civilized beyond the capacity of a ninth century society.

#1  This is so very sad. Imagine: we're roughly interrogating the likes of Khalid Sheik Mohammed!

And he's so kind to his mother, in-between planning an attack that killed 3,000 unarmed and innocent people on 9/11, that is......
