you just put people in the situation to say ANYTHING to make it stop, agree to anything, just talk a bunch of BS and make it seem meaningful.
sleep dep, pitting suspect vs supect, 12-14 hour interrogation sessions, good cop,bad cop, fabricating bogus evidence, charges, accusations as means to an end on an amission of guilt, ratting out the bigger bad guy, snitching about locations, activities, events, plans,etc.
all this stuff is standard practice in the states. we dont go much beyond it. we already have alot of vietnam vets who went thru alot worse than abu garib, those tactics they used didnt really produce much for them.
i think we dont need it.
i guess waterboarding wouldnt be stooping to the level of the insurgents, they do far worse. but you do have to note all the surrenders that occured in the gulf war 1. its better being in an american jail than an iraqi-saddam-era one.
i believe they surrendered because
1>hopeless odds, the obvious
2>they'd be treated better than how thier leader would treat them.
