We Have Ways Of Making You Talk
Filmed in France, Israel, USA, Algeria, Argentina, Uruguay, South Africa and the UK, this disturbing and candid BBC documentary explores the history of modern interrogation techniques and the rise of modern torture using revealing interviews with state interrogators and state torturers.
The legacy of this history continues to shapes our present, especially in the United States, and some of these techniques have now become routine in the war on terror – be it the use of dogs, water-boarding, or sexual humiliation.
This long, unbroken line of inhuman cruelty connects Nazi Germany to Abu Ghraib, and is an essential issue in today’s political landscape.

Sickening, truly sickening docu.
Seems like the American Intelligence has always been on the forefront of torture-techniques. Teaching people how to utilize rape for interrogation..?? The thought alone makes me sick to my stomach..!
The people responsible for these teachings, and appliance of, should be publicly executed for all the suffering they caused with their ‘trainings’.
I am surprised at the fact that most of the torturers have no bad conscience for the suffering they caused. Of course ultimately it is the authorities that are responsible. Respect to the victims that have shared their stories. Sad to see that even though these cases are now public knowledge the people responsible will never answer for their crimes (except for one that is on trial but again for a single murder…)
This is the most hideous face of the disease of human hatred, rage, and ignorance. As long as we do not treat the seeds of these acts, the acts will be with us until the end of human history.
This man is an enemy, little lamb. It’s OK. You have no responsibility here. It’s OK. What you’re doing is right. This man is evil. It’s more than OK. It’s necessary. Your country thanks you. You are a hero. We need to do this. Sleep soundly, little lamb. Take your family to the park on Sunday. Buy your child an ice cream cone. Pray to Jesus. Have the relatives over for the big game. On Monday, you’re going to insert an electrode into his p****. The air will smell like singed meat. He’s going to cry. But you won’t feel it. You won’t feel anything but right.
Oh yes I am a part of a terrorist front Mr. CIA guy, yes please arrest me and I will tell you everything you want to know, and no they haven’t threatened my family so it’s ok if I reveal all of my secrets to you, no need for torture of any kind, I’ll just tell you the truth!!!
Wake the hell up people these terrorist type arent just gonna tell the officials whoever they are the truth about anything willingly, while torture is viewed as inhumane, let me ask you this, would you rather let these people remain silent and commit more crimes against humanity? While this is the worst case scenario, which is always what the sh@thead media wants you to see, there are many cases that you never hear of that have resulted in the saving of millions of lives at the cost of one of these terrorist that your hearts bleed for!!!
I never knew until Obama was elected how rampant ignorance had taken hold of the American people.I say whip there @ss as much as possible, you kill Americans you suffer the punishment! Remember how zealous the Romans were over their citizens? Oh I forgot we no longer teach history in our schools anymore…. what a pity that we have 3 or 4 generations of progressive ***** living in this country… oh poor lil terrorist… awe did them bad men kick your poor lil behind after you killed 850 people…. awe you poor lil terrorist… then the progressive (liberal) ***** says in private, oh I’m glad that my family wasn’t killed in the attack… don’t tell my heart my bleeding bleeding heart,i t just don’t understand, and if you tell my heart, it might just make a sign and protest or some other ****** liberal dookie head thingy!!!!!!!!

Please don’t be so eager to string up anyone that *appears* to have wronged your America. Things are seldom simple and the person that gets to label someone else a ‘terrorist’ is far from infallible. In fact, it’s pretty scary when you think about the power concentrated in just a few hands.
While the terrorist acts of 9/11 are unquestionably despicable, more and more, it appears ‘terrorist’ is a label that sticks to anyone that questions the imperialist trends of the American Empire.
But I question the American Empire. I question a country that has been perpetually at war since its inception and gets to torture anyone that disagrees with it. But more than this, I am terrified by how utterly normal, maybe even prosaic these torturers are. They aren’t monsters, they aren’t soulless beasts. They are normal men. That is: they do not think for themselves, they must be told what to think by others.
…don’t be a pawn in their game…
It makes me sick to see what people do in the name of state and country! What they seem to forget is that these people are human, too – far too much importance is placed on state borders, religion and cultural differences. No human being has the right to subject another to this kind of pain, not for any reason! Unfortunately the practice of torture is almost as old as humankind – if we’re not united by our shared humanity then surely by our shared capacity for cruelty. That however is no excuse to continue using torture as a means of punishing prisoners (innocent or not) or as a means of extracting information.
I hate the hypocrisy of torturers as well as of the state who ordered or sanctioned it in the first place. I find America especially annoying in that instance because of the ever present ‘holier than thou’ attitude, when, in fact, America has a reather bloody history and present, if one cares to remember.
