Nuts & Bolts : how U.S. organized torture program
"The United States armed forces as a matter of policy have at various times utilized so-called counter-resistance techniques to be used by U.S. soldiers as a template for torture to be used on American enemy prisoners or political opponents. The situation with SERE is not new, but is part of a military or national security culture that has lost its moral bearings and committed crimes for which they have never been held accountable."
( This actually has relevance to crazy things going on right now. Notice the "Enforcing Trivial Demands" : and think of goverment programs of late, especially "Homeland Insecurity". This is a method of treating a country to ensure compliance. )
