2. Hypothermia: The prisoner is left to
stand naked in a cell kept near 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius),
while being regularly doused with cold water in order to increase the rate at
which heat is lost from the body.
3. Stress positions: Prisoners are forced
to stand, handcuffed and with their feet shackled to an eye bolt in the floor
(and/or wall), for more than 40 hours, causing the prisoners' weight to be
placed on just one or two muscles. This creates an intense amount of pressure
on the legs, leading first to pain and then muscle failure.[52]
4. Abdomen strikes: A hard, open-handed
slap is dealt to the prisoner's abdomen. Doctors consulted over the matter
advised against using a punch, which could cause lasting internal damage.
5.
Slapping: An open-handed slap is delivered to the prisoner's face, aimed at
causing pain and triggering fear.
6. Shaking: The interrogator forcefully
grabs the front of the prisoner's shirt and shakes them.
If they survive the
trials of maybe being sent to another country that doesn't exactly follow the
Geneva Conventions and maybe (or not) they return them to us, they are sent to Guantanamo.
There, they are subjected to more "enhanced interrogation".
That's for so-called
"prisoners of war". There have been cases of "Extraordinary Rendition". To be
brief, this is when the CIA kidnaps people they believe are plotting against
us. With no representation, they may or may not use their enhanced
interrogation. They are either held in secret "black prisons" across the globe
for years at time or sent to Guantanamo. What is disturbing about this is that
they have done this for years.
The United States' Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA) runs a global apprehension and incarceration operation of
suspected terrorists, known as "extraordinary
rendition" which from 2001 to 2005 captured an estimated 150 people and
transported them around the world.[3][4][5][6] While the Obama administration
has tried to distance itself from some of the harshest counterterrorism
techniques, it has also said that at least some forms of renditions will
continue.[7] Currently the administration continues to allow rendition only
"to a country with jurisdiction over that individual (for prosecution of
that individual)" when there is a diplomatic assurance "that they
will not be treated inhumanely."[8][9] Prior to the Obama administration,
rendered persons were reported to have undergone torture by the receiving
countries, and it has been alleged that this occurred with the knowledge or
cooperation of the administrations of the United States and the United Kingdom.

very interesting; anyone that is interested in what the government has done
should read this.
