Quote:The British government, on 9 August 1971, unleashed one of its largest deep interrogation experiments. Irish internees were made to stand with hoods over their heads while electronic noise was played through speakers or headphones. They were naked, half-starved, and abused. Professor Robert Daly: [17][18] ”Being awakened in the middle of the night, being beaten, lied to, and insulted, was all part of the ‘unfreezing process’ through which psychological defenses were broken down, and terror and humiliation were induced. Hence, the photographing in the nude, being forced to urinate while running, the sadism and abuse. The aim of the treatment was to cause temporary insanity, a severe psychological injury liable to having lasting consequences.” The unprecedented operations in Northern Ireland, prompted Amnesty International and the European Court of Human Rights to intervene.

The intervention obviously did nothing. I'm reminded of the news stories over here concerning British troops being sent into Iraq. It was apparently our years of experience in NI that would make us such an effective force over there. Obviously our "success" in dealing with the troubles made us the perfect choice to stop the sectarian violence in Basra. then the videos and photos showing familiar torture methods surfaced. Who better to teach the CIA about breaking prisoners than the British.

Just so many a man lies sore, from the worm within the world.
