TIME Magazine attempts to show just how horrible the treatment is at the Guantanamo Bay Gulag. I had no idea the torture was this inhumane. Check out the details of the escalated interrogation techniques. These were used on a prisoner who was intended to be one of the 9/11 hijackers:
Dripping Water or Playing Christina Aguilera Music: After the new measures are approved, the mood in al-Qahtani's interrogation booth changes dramatically. The interrogation sessions lengthen. The quizzing now starts at midnight, and when Detainee 063 dozes off, interrogators rouse him by dripping water on his head or playing Christina Aguilera music. According to the log, his handlers at one point perform a puppet show "satirizing the detainee's involvement with al-Qaeda." He is taken to a new interrogation booth, which is decorated with pictures of 9/11 victims, American flags and red lights. He has to stand for the playing of the U.S. national anthem. His head and beard are shaved. He is returned to his original interrogation booth. A picture of a 9/11 victim is taped to his trousers. Al-Qahtani repeats that he will "not talk until he is interrogated the proper way." At 7 a.m. on Dec. 4, after a 12-hour, all-night session, he is put to bed for a four-hour nap, TIME reports.Another procedure called for "Invasion of Space by a Female", where the prisoner was "agitated by the close physical presence of a woman".
I had no idea that al Qaeda operatives were such wussies. They wouldn't last five minutes in a fraternity hazing ritual.

Put the pig fucker in close proximity to an ARMED woman who lost someone on 9/11.
Six Minutes-Bitch.
I think Christina Aguilera's music actually is torture. Personally, I'd rather have bamboo shoots driven under my fingernails.
Seriously, though, I've known these guys were a bunch of complete pansies for a long time. Just watch how quietly they always go after capture, heads down, with their tails between their legs. Remember Saddam, with his "please don't kill me" look from inside his cozy little hobbit hole? If he were half as bad as his reputation, he would have never have been taken alive.
These dudes are all no different than the ordinary wuss who becomes a serious badass when behind the wheel of a car.

Posted by: markm at June 13, 2005 3:54 PMNoooo!!! Please don't torture me by having a not-well-covered woman invade my personal space!!! Anything but that!!
Maybe we should interogate these guys by taking them to a strip club with money pinned all over their clothes.

Think about the possibilities for real torture:
