TORTURE MOST FAIR

We have seen this year shocking stories of torture at the Abu Ghraib prison. Those responsible at the scene have been, or will be, punished. So far, no action has been taken against those up the chain of command in Iraq and in Washington, D.C. There have also been charges condemning the the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.

There is a need to conduct interrogation to obtain intelligence information. However, this military goal does not justify abusive treatment such as attack dogs and physical humiliation. There is a better way.

The sure way to elicit confessions and intelligence disclosure - subject the prisoner to a constant and continuing pledge drive broadcast. In some cases it may take an hour, in some cases 2 or 3 hours, but this method is guaranteed to make the prisoner break down. Where necessary, interpreters will be provided - in rotating shifts to prevent mental injury.
