CIA: Human Rights Abusers

[Bodo]

Faced with a FOIA lawsuit, the Central Intelligence Agency recently released an interrogation manual to the Baltimore Sun that details brutal methods of extracting information from resistant sources. The “KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation” manual does more than simply outline various psychological and physical torture tactics: it demonstrates a real-world application of the CIA’s mind control research and offers clues on the agency’s role in human rights abuses around the world. This report examines the historical context of the interrogation manual, the MKULTRA connection, and the manual itself, presented here verbatim for the first time online.

I was listening to Amy Goodman this morning. She was interviewing guests regarding the second spate of photos and information regarding the Abu Gharaib scandal. One of her guests, a professor from University of Wisconsin, who is writing a book about the CIA’s record of interrogation/torture from Vietnam to the Gulf War dropped this dime regarding the “interrogation” manual.

Haven’t had time to read it all, but have scanned through it. It’s ingenious, and disgusting. Makes me want to have a line item veto on how my taxes dollars are spent. This kind of stuff would get a big fat VETO!
