But is he really way off base ? Stephen A Smith is high strung with his rants,but Colin at this point is lost in all the points he's trying to make. I've lost track of what his issue is these days :manny:

Torture Techniques used in Guantanamo


Why Torture Techniques Were Used
Many Guantanamo interrogators (including psychologists and psychiatrists) were trained by Survival-Evasion-Resistance-Escape (SERE) instructors, or had experience in the Joint Personnel Recovery Agency (JPRA), which oversaw SERE training. SERE was a program designed to train military personnel who had been caught as Prisoners Of War to withstand torture during interrogation if they were to be caught by a ‘dishonourable enemy’. Military personnel went through a program of beatings, starvation, stress positions, being stripped naked and thrown into small cages for days. The SERE program was established after years of experimentation by the CIA and the other four branches of the U.S. military. Jane Mayer points out that the SERE program was a strange way to try and obtain the ‘truth’ from detainees because it was founded during the Cold War when 36 US air men gave false confessions during the Korean War. Ideas for interrogation also came from the television series ‘24’, which depicted a fictional character torturing detainees to get information about a terrorist plot.
The Senate Armed Services Committee Report outlines how the harsh interrogation techniques came about. See, ‘Senate Armed Services Committee Inquiry into the Treatment of Detainees in US Custody’; and, Jane Mayer, ‘The Dark Side’, Scribe Publications, Victoria, 2008, p.158; Philippe Sands, ‘Torture Team’, Penguin Books, London, 2008, p.73; and former soldier put through SERE training, David J. Morris, Empires of the Mind: ‘SERE, Guantánamo, and the Legacies of Torture’, Virginia Quarterly Review, Winter 2009.



Abu Ghraib- The Connection to Guantanamo
The techniques used at Abu Ghraib were first used at Guantanamo. General Geoffrey Miller was sent to Abu Ghraib to ‘gitmo-ise’ it. The Taguba report found the intentional abuse of detainees by; forcing groups of males to masturbate, forcing male and female detainees into sexually explicit poses for photographing, punching, slapping and kicking detainees, arranging naked male detainees in a pile, a male guard raping a female detainee, writing ‘i am a rapest’ (sic) on the leg of a detainee alleged to have raped a 15 year old fellow detainee then photographing him naked and positioning a naked detainee on an MRE box with a sandbag on his head and attaching wires to his fingers, penis and toes to simulate electric shock, and taking photographs of dead Iraqi detainees. See, The Taguba report, ‘Article 15-6 Investigation of the 800th Military Police Brigade’, 2004. Redacted version available from http://www.npr.org/iraq/2004/prison_abuse_report.pdf; and, Seymour Hersh, ‘Chain of Command: The Road from 9/11 to Abu Ghraib’, HarperCollins, New York, 2004; and, David Rose, ‘Guantanamo: America’s War on Human Rights’, Faber & Faber Ltd., London, 2004, p. 82.

The Torture Memos
The memos authorised interrogation techniques that included Attention Grasp, Walling, Facial Hold, Facial Slap (Insult Slap), Cramped Confinement, Wall Standing, Stress Positions, Sleep Deprivation, Insects Placed in Confinement Box; and Waterboarding. These techniques were discussed in the recently leaked International Committee of the Red Cross report which outlined the treatment of 14 ‘high value detainees’.

In one of the memos Steven Bradbury explores the psychological tool of ‘learned helplessness’ and how it is employed to condition detainees through techniques such as ‘nudity’, ‘dietary manipulation’ and ‘sleep deprivation’. This results in a total reliance on their captors for meeting basic human needs. Bradbury noted that sleep deprivation could consist of shackling the prisoner naked and in a ‘diaper’, as long as the diaper is ‘checked regularly’ and that this would not cause “severe physical suffering”.

I usually just lurk when it comes to these topics, because there so emotionally charged that there is no room for rationality or context. But this statement encapsulates the basic root problem while there will never be REAL progressive change in racism through the mechanism of capitalism via white supremacy. We will just keep going through these historical cycles of feigned tolerance and acceptance, while the hatred and annihilation of and for Africans and other non-Caucasian people bubbles under the surface.

The one thing that must be understood and digested is, that no matter what the ideology of the rest of the world that doesn't have a vested interest in furthering the structure of white supremacy, those with the means to change it/improve it have NO interest in doing so. No amount of voting, protesting, gerrymandering or even violence to a certain extent will engender those in power to improve the situation. Reason for this is simple, they don't want to relinquish the power and prestige that comes along with a world blinded by the propaganda of white supremacy and racism, whether they believe/practice the mechanisms themselves. You can't appeal to those that have no moral compass or ability to empathize, their basically sociopaths and perverse existentialists.
BRUH the last person that should be lurking is you

this is an extremely insightful post

dunning-Kruger effect man the more knowledgable a person is on a subject the less likely they are to speak and vice versa

you needa post fukk what anyone says atleast post in higher learning, its less emotionally charged and very tolerant even being lenient and basically giving a pass to posters who post literal alt-right talking points

Tamir Rice's death going completely unpunished without a single outcry proved without a shadow of a doubt that these cacs cant be reasoned with morally, and any attempt is a literal waste of breath.

I think a lot of yall sit around waiting for SAS to say some stupid shyt because you like being outraged.

fukk SAS. He isn't someone who should be taken seriously beyond straight sports analysis. Stop giving him life.
Nah...you just want to think you're doing something no one else is doing...but yet you are, posting in a SAS thread like everyone else knowing he's a fool.

:beli: I don't watch First Take.

I sincerely don't give a fukk about what SAS says about anything.

I discovered he was ill-informed and concluded his opinion on anything outside of sports holds no weight long ago. I think he should be ignored and I would encourage others to do the same.

Neither do most in here.

You're in this thread no different than most in here.

Nothing you're doing is unique bro. No one needs the lesson. Cats in here are calling him ill informed just as you are
