Quotes
.....Bart Osborn (whose agent net Stein inherited) is more
specific. “I never knew in the course of all those operations any detainee to
live through his interrogation,” Osborn testified before Congress in 1971. “They
all died. There was never any reasonable establishment of the fact that any one
of those individuals was, in fact, cooperating with the VC, but they all died
and the majority were wither tortured to death or things like thrown out of
helicopters.” [book
extract] The My Lai Massacre and The
“Tiger Cages” by Douglas Valentine
Page 63 (hardcover edition)
"Now everyone knows about the airborne interrogation—taking three people up in a
chopper, taking one guy and saying. Talk,' then throwing him out before he even
gets the chance to open his mouth. Well, we wrapped det [detonator] cord around
their necks and wired them to the detonator box. And basically what it did was
blow their heads off. The interrogator would tell the translator, usually a
South Vietnamese intelligence officer, 'Ask him this.' He'd ask him, 'Who gave
you the gun?' And the guy would start to answer, or maybe he wouldn't—maybe he'd
resist—but the general idea was to waste the first two. They planned the
snatches that way. Pick up this guy because we're pretty sure he's VC
cadre—these other two guys just run errands for him. Or maybe they're nobody;
Tran, the farmer, and his brother Nguyen. But bring in two. Put them in a row.
By the time you get to your man, he's talking so fast you got to pop the weasel
just to shut him up." After a moment's silence he added, "I guess you could say
that we wrote the book on terror."

The Bush administration approved the use of waterboarding, a technique in which a suspect was strapped to a board, his feet raised above his head, and his face covered with a wet cloth as interrogators poured water over it. The body responds as if it is drowning, over and over as the process is repeated. "We find that the use of the waterboard constitutes a threat of imminent death," Justice Department attorneys wrote. "From the vantage point of any reasonable person undergoing this procedure in such circumstances, he would feel as if he is drowning at the very moment of the procedure due to the uncontrollable physiological sensation he is experiencing."
