A reminder that torture is not quite as un-american as some would have us believe

Kubarkin: '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.'

Slightly newer is "Human Resource Exploitation Training Manual' (1983)". Some interesting stuff here about it and its use in Honduras where Negropontre, our new ambassador to Iraq served.

The report itself (and more) is here, and a page with corrections.
