New Interrogation Methods Cause Uproar
by Cato
A little known commission is being held to discuss various techniques which have been used by organizations operating under the full knowledge and with the complicity of the United States Government. While the government maintains that such “Tactics, Techniques and Procedures� are legal, many advocacy groups are furious that the government would permit such practices to be allowed, much less taught and funded both domestically and overseas by taxpayers. Below we have an accurate description of the procedures, as well as the success rate and mortality rates of some of the more popular methods used.
Suspended Probing. This method requires the subject to be suspended in darkness by the ankles or feet. Questions are generally asked while a sharp instrument is inserted at the base of the posterior of the skull where the spinal cord meets. The subject is restrained so as to not interfere with the procedure. Depending on subject cooperation the instrument is adjusted so that it in effect damages various parts of the brain until the subject is no longer viable. The instrument is then removed along with the vast majority of brain matter. The success of such a procedure, being measured in the quality and quantity of intelligence gathered, is fairly high. 85% of subjects who did not respond to other forms of interrogation were responsive to this method. The mortality rate is 100%.
Another popular method with such interrogators is a form of sodium chloride immersion referred to as a saline drop. This technique requires the subject to be placed in a container where they are afforded limited ability to move. The
intense solution causes severe burning to the epidermis. Depending upon the cooperation of the subject the solution may also be ingested, which causes several chemical burns in the lungs and the intestinal walls eventually causing death. This procedure has an 82% success rate amongst subjects who did not respond to other forms of interrogation. The mortality rate amongst subjects varies by exposure.
External exposure only: 90% Mortality rate
Internal as well as external: 98% Mortality rate
Despite the evident success rates of such techniques, the unquestioned barbarity has led to an outcry for public hearings on the subject. Certain civil rights groups have made claims that these are but a few of the many techniques used and that only a full and public investigation will bring the responsible parties to bear.
“It is time that the public is made aware of the atrocities that are taking place in their name and with the use of their tax dollars. A more horrible story of betrayal, and torture would be difficult to find in tales of the Inquisition.� Dr. Jonathan Gordin
Such investigations are being opposed by various defense and intelligence sectors who claim that the information gained is to vital to our safety and security to be compromised by public hearings.
More to follow.

For those of you who were justly outraged by the story you read concerning interrogation techniques, I would like to assure you that this report is almost completely fabricated. I have noted below, those portions of the story which are false. I know them to be false, since I am the original author. Please read on…
Excerpt from the original article: A little known commission is being held to discuss various techniques which have been used by organizations operating under the full knowledge and with the complicity of the United States Government. While the government maintains that such “Tactics, Techniques and Procedures� are legal, many advocacy groups are furious that the government would permit such practices to be allowed....etc.,
Now please compare those portions with this description.
Five steps to a partial birth abortion:
1) Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby’s legs with forceps.
2) The baby’s leg is pulled out into the birth canal.
3) The abortionist delivers the baby’s entire body, except for the head
4) The abortionist jams scissors into the baby’s skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the skull.
5) The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child’s brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed.
Salt Poisoning (Saline Injection):
Used after 16 weeks (four months) when enough fluid has accumulated. A long needle injects a strong salt solution through the mother’s abdomen into the baby’s sac. The baby swallows this fluid and is poisoned by it. It also acts as a corrosive, burning off the outer layer of skin. It normally takes somewhat over an hour for the baby to die from this. Within 24 hours, labor will usually set in and the mother will give birth to a dead or dying baby. (There have been many cases of these babies being born alive. They are usually left unattended to die. However, a few have survived and later been adopted.)
…For our friends on the left that bitterly oppose any method of coercive interrogation, from sleep deprivation to loud music; I wonder how they defend the right of such practices to be administered to the most defenseless of our species. Various abortion right activists oppose even administering anesthetic to the child for fear that such an admission of pain would weaken the abortion on demand position…
Medical researchers around the world are slowly acknowledging that the human fetus feels pain much earlier in its development than once thought. Here is proof:
The fetus at 20 weeks gestation “is fully capable of experiencing pain. … Without question, all of this is a dreadfully painful experience for any infant subjected to such a surgical procedure.� — Robert J. White, M.D.,PhD., professor of neurosurgery at Case Western University, Cleveland, Ohio, in testimony before the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Committee on the Judiciary, U.S. House of Representatives, March 21, 1996; Ultrasonographic findings report specific fetal movements in response to needle punctures in utero. When neonates are born prematurely at 23 weeks gestation, they demonstrate highly specific and well-coordinated physiologic and behavioral responses to pain … validating outside the uterus what they were capable of manifesting inside the uterus.� — Jean A. Wright, M.D., M.B.A., Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Emory School of Medicine, White Paper: Advances in the Understanding of Fetal Pain, Christian Medical Association
…How fanatical does one have to be, to blindly accept such a practice? How blatantly shut off to reason, science and morality must one be to suggest that it is not their place to oppose such measures. For those who think I am being extreme or unreasonable I offer one challenge. Demonstrate here on this site that any of the following statements are false..
1. At the moment of conception you have all of the genetic code you will ever possess in your lifetime.
2. Science determines what a species is by its genetic code.
3. The definition of “innocent�: Free from moral wrong; without sin; pure: innocent children. Free from legal wrong or specific wrong; guiltless: innocent of the crime.
Not involving evil intent or motive: an innocent misrepresentation.
4. Less than 1% of the 700,000 abortions performed annually in the United States are performed for the protection of the mother’s life.
5. A fetus at the point of conception meets the scientific definition of human life and the legal definition of innocent.
6. All of the above statements being true, abortion is the “systematic destruction of innocent human life.�
If all of these points are true, than how can any person claiming to believe that human life is sacred believe that abortion should be legal for any purpose other than protection of the mother’s physical life? There are many disturbing and heart breaking anecdotes about mothers who have been put into horrible situations by rape, or incest; but do those situations justify the “…destruction of innocent human life.� Is not the true problem in those situations a lack of severe punishment for rape and incest? Are we truly so illogical in said situations, that we would presume to put to death a child rather than the guilty party?
If we are, as I believe, a nation which subscribes to the idea that innocent human life is sacred; if we in turn profess that such life should be protected against harm from third parties and have set up a government whose highest purpose is to implement such beliefs, than how can we possibly reconcile these beliefs with the institution of abortion as it currently exists?
How can a logical person of said beliefs and ideas claim no responsibility concerning the defense of the most fragile and innocent of our society?
Make no mistake; there are only two sides to this debate. The underlying issue prevents any faction into numerous categories of dissent or approval. You must determine for yourself whether or not you will support or oppose the systematic destruction of innocent human life for reasons other than the defense of a mother’s physical life.
If you choose to support such a position, you must then understand that once you have approved of such a procedure, you have in effect opened the door for future majorities to expound on it. If innocent life is not sacred in all its forms, than who is to determine in what forms it is sacred.
Signed,
Cato

Bravo Cato...the imagery is, sadly, breathtaking.

You could form yourselves a support group: Torturers Unite!
Honest to bloody Christ, will you listen to yourselves?
And nobody's welcomed me back. Hummpphh!

Please notice the same old Libby avoiding debate, and simply throwing insults.
