Kubark

CIA manual written in the 1980s and available on the web because it was released under official secrets laws pre-911.

It's revealing because many of the torture tactics now publicised by Iraq abuse photos and Guantanamo survivors' revelations were advocated in the section on "coercive interrogations". In other words, fuck this shit about bad eggs - this was US fucking policy even before 911.

c.f. stress and duress.
