CIA 'torture': Inside the 'blackout box' - BBC News

*VIDEO CONTAINS SOME DISTURBING IMAGES* BBC reporter Hilary Andersson finds out what it is like to be inside a "blackout box" used in so-called "enhanced interrogation". The agency's position has always been that the "enhanced interrogation" techniques it used under George W Bush, did not amount to torture, because they were legally approved by the White House at the time. President Obama closed the CIA's programme down when he came to power in 2009. BBC Panorama reporter Hilary Andersson experiences what it is like inside a "blackout box" as used by CIA interrogators.
Panorama: Fighting Terror With Torture is on BBC One at 20:30 BST on Monday 3 August 2015 and available later via BBC iPlayer (UK Only).

Yeah, the technique was first pioneered in Germany during the mid second world war but not employed on a larger scale. This methodology is now the gold standard of interrogation and has evolved through multiple stages (Notably the good-cop bad-cop routine). It doesn't necessarily mean being humane to those interrogated but it relies more on the carrot than the stick.

[@insan8ty]

I think you guys are getting the purpose and the idea of that wrong/mixed up. Babies crying on an airplane is just annoying. But being stressed out, afraid and being forced into a dark black and airless box while hearing that is going to get whole other feeling and reaction out of you. It is not the same feeling or the same thing at all when you hear the cries of a child while you are being tortured. In a way, it is supposed to reflect how the victim is actually feeling and to make them break and make them cry like a child. Not only that, like the guy said in the video, it also brings out an instinctual reaction out of us to end the cries of a child. It naturally upsets us.

[@Katyusha666]

There is a sick twisted genius behind this method: physical torture is actually not something any human can support doing in the long term. This method solves the problem: you put your victim in a confined space, press a button, and let whatever happens happen. Rather than beating a man into a pulp while he cries and begs you, put him in a box, turn on the speakers, and go play poker.

[@win7sony]

Can I just explain something to any of the torture advocates on this video? Many, not all, but many of the people tortured by the CIA were actually innocent. The Pakistani and Afghan government sent them, claiming that they were from Al Qaeda or the Taliban, as a way of getting revenge on the opposition parties/pro-free speech groups that they belonged to. You may be fine with torturing terrorists, but please realize and understand that it has been confirmed by the UN that many of them were actually innocent. Thanks for reading.

[@jose19971903]

And you know they were innocent how? Did you work for the CIA, are you a lawyer or did you get to speak to at least one of the prisoners. Thank you for reading. P.S about 3000 people die in one single morning, I don't care if your innocent, if you have information, I'll do anything to get you to talk.

[@denker032047146]

torture is not ineffective its one of the most effective ways to get information fast but only when you have reach the breaking point before that it doesnt work. And as a punishment its insanely effective.

[@denker032047146]

***** well torture is more effective as a punishment than you want to know. Or are you one of those leftwing ppl that think that the prison system works flawless and that they have learned their lesson and it makes ppl not to want to commit crimes? And if torture didnt work at all on ppl then why do you think that we humans still use it and come up with new ways of doing this. In many cases you dont even need to "hurt" the person for the torture to work. You do know that if i wanted information from you that you dont want to give up the easiest way would not be to hurt you directly but ppl that you care about like your wife or your children. So dont say that torture dont work.

[@denker032047146]

***** ahh was the foundation you built your faith in this so weak you couldnt take the fact that you lost this one, you cant really give up this easy. And i dont use torture myself so no im not a sadist i only understand that it sometimes is the only way to get information you need. You cant ask a terrorist nicely where did you plant the bomb that will go off in 72 hours. Even keeping him in prison is a form of torture since it violates his rights of movement. Yeah i wish there were better ways but that isnt the case. And we are not talking about someone that you can talk with and they will slip up. These ppl are at war with you and all they want is for that bomb to go off. And for every second you just talk to him and he keeps his mouth shut is a second you lose on the countdown. Then maybe now you start to understand why it is used. And even if the bomb goes off you still might not have anything on him since he doesnt talk. And then you have to let him go so he can do this again and again.
