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.

Fair point insofar as stress positions, but you did skip over the homicides and beatings. Also, one cannot simply assume that all or even most, of your cited examples of torture/stress positions/killings took place in the context of an interrogation.
The result of such misuse of ambiguous examples and statistics is to prejudice the fair debate concerning the permissible boundaries of interrogation of terrorists.
