The other day in class we were assigned to research topics
on the CIA’s Salt prison and torture methods. Which are used to get answers out
of people that won’t crack on answers that are needed. The Salt Prison is
actually a pit that the CIA uses in the center of Afghanistan to interrogate
people that are suspicious. Salt prisons weren’t very popular but after 9/11
had happened they had spiked up and became widely known, because the attack had
made the CIA angry because of the terrorists and wanted them to stop. I read a
few different articles that I am going to tell you about.
One article
was named at the CIA’s salt pit prison. This article was found on msn.com. When
I read the article it had explained that no one really ever new about this
going on in the world until now. I read that the things that they do to the
prisoners are very in human. Some of the things that they would do to the
prisoners: is not let them sleep, where no clothes, eat unhealthy food, take
cold showers, and mock executions. Some other bad thing is listening to excessively
loud music for over 22 hours a day.
When the
United States started running out of new torcher methods they had decided to
hire to psychiatrists to give them new ideas for new methods to crack the
terrorists. Doctors that help them come up with the methods each go 40 million
dollars to do it. The doctors that were chosen were James Mitchell and Bruce
jessen. I bet your wondering how they came up with these torcher ideas. Well
they used Wikipedia and the hand book of joseph Stalin to decide these tactics.
They had got a questioning from vanity fair and as they quoted “were proud of
the work we did for our country”.
I read
off the Huffington post that one of the men in the salt pit was named gul Rahman
which whom was shackled and left in the pit half nacked with no food. He had
four other terrorist with him. When any of the men in the salt pit had died
there families were informed that the man had died form natural causes.
