    Of the 13 "enhanced interrogation techniques" that were used by the CIA, 12 of them were used during Marine Corps boot camp at MCRDPI and MCRDSD back before political correctness and social engineering was forced upon our military services.

    12 of those "enhanced interrogation techniques" like sleep deprivation, stress positions, the facial slap/insult slap, nudity (gang showers, no toilet stalls) etc, were all used to prepare future Marines for the realities of combat. Except waterboarding.

    But waterboarding use to be part on the U.S. Navy/Marine Corps SERE training. But it was removed from the training not because it was politically incorrect and labeled as torture but waterboarding was eliminated because it was a morale breaker.

    Thanks - I thought water boarding was included. So it was removed because it is effective.

    From Wiki (check the references for where this info was drawn from):

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gina_Haspel#Torture_involvement

    Declassified CIA cables specify that Zubaydah was waterboarded 83 times in a month, was sleep deprived, kept in a "large box", had his head slammed against a wall, and he lost his left eye. Zubaydah was deemed, by the CIA interrogators, to not be in possession of any useful intelligence (Interrogation of Abu Zubaydah).[17] Haspel was “directly involved in its controversial interrogation program” and had an “extensive role” in torturing detainees. The Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on torture detailed the central role she played in the particularly gruesome torture of detainee Abu Zubaydah.[30]

    It was removed from SERE training because it was a morale breaker.

    Back in 69 we had a naval officer (Lt. Cmdr.) in our ANGLICO NGF Plt. who went through SERE training not at Warner Springs but some where on the east coast. He's one of the very few who has ever escaped from the SERE prison compound where the waterboarding took place as part of the training who escaped and was able to avoid being recaptured.

    Really? And how so? She was the employee of the Obama administration for his entire term and yet he retained her. Does that also indicate that the former administration facilitated the crime for which you now are eager to adjudicate? Seems so...

    Nothing wrong with torturing terrorists.

    If we caught the perps from 9/11, I'd gladly participate.

    How about this.
    Killing Jews in the gas chamber was actually humane way of executing. It is so since the US government gas chambers work as good as exactly the same way and it's considered not cruel or unusual.

    You can't say that about waterboarding. It killed people, who have to presumed innocent until proven guilty, in a horrific way according to former guards at Gitmo.



    And this Gina Haspel destroyed the video evidence.

    I don't know how this sad facsimile of a human being can sleep at night. Pills, probably.

    Only soldiers of NATO countries are killing civilians. This is obvious to everyone who has a brain. NATO is an evil that supports terrorists around the world. For example, the United States created al Qaeda, the Taliban, ISIS ..... Nigerian terrorists also exist with a US counterpart. Even Mara Salvatrucha was created with the help of the CIA.
