After more than a decade of studying the Philippine military's torture techniques for a monograph published by Yale back 1999, I could see the tell-tale signs of the CIA's psychological methods. For example, that iconic photo of a hooded Iraqi with fake electrical wires hanging from his extended arms shows, not the sadism of a few "creeps," but instead the two key trademark's of the CIA's psychological torture. The hood was for sensory disorientation. The arms were extended for self-inflicted pain. It was that simple; it was that obvious. 3 http://www.furl.net/item/14297194/forward http://www.furl.net/item/14297194 Sat, 16 Dec 2006 13:18:31 GMT Guantánamo After two years in which the military sought to manage terrorism suspects at Guantánamo with incentives for good behavior, steady improvements in their living conditions and even dialogue with prison leaders, the authorities here have clamped down decisively in recent months. 3 http://www.furl.net/item/13787619/forward http://www.furl.net/item/13787619 Thu, 30 Nov 2006 07:24:06 GMT CIA Rendition Flights Khaled el-Masri, who claims the CIA kidnapped and tortured him, recounted his story on Capitol Hill on Wednesday and said he hoped he could help prevent others from suffering a similar fate. 3 http://www.furl.net/item/13729496/forward http://www.furl.net/item/13729496 Wed, 29 Nov 2006 02:42:15 GMT CIA Rendition Flights Britain's role in CIA "torture flights" was roundly condemned yesterday by the European parliament in a scathing report which for the first time named the site of a suspected secret US detention centre in the EU - at Stare Kiejkuty in Poland. 3 http://www.furl.net/item/13587420/forward http://www.furl.net/item/13587420 Thu, 23 Nov 2006 15:49:28 GMT Torture Dogged by serious allegations of human rights abuses in Iraq, a leading profiteer from the Iraq war engages in intimidation campaigns against journalists in America who seek to expose its practices. 3 http://www.furl.net/item/13482796/forward http://www.furl.net/item/13482796 Mon, 20 Nov 2006 14:05:26 GMT Torture Sen.

Just 700 ended up in Guantanamo Bay.
