re: #678 iceweasel

Some of them died while left in stress positions. You can’t seamlessly differentiate between ‘during an interrogation’ and ‘not during an interrogation’ where the EIT are concerned. They are specifically designed such that the prisoner is in effect always in interrogation: interrogations happen randomly and meanwhile the prisoner is subjected to random beatings, walling, left in stress positions, sleep deprived, etc— all in order to break him down. The interrogation process doesn’t really have a beginning or an end— it’s designed that way.

So trying to make a distinction like “were they being asked questions at the exact time they died” doesn’t help.

I assume you are talking about captured terrorists who were using car bombs and suicide bombs and be-headings to terrorize civilians? As I recall thousands of innocent men, women and children were massacred in horrible ways.

I trust the US and Coalition troops did everything appropriate to deal with these threats, if they stepped over the line here and there, I’ll not lose any sleep over it.
