In the first article I read, it talks about a “Salt
Pit” method of torture. This method
includes being handcuffed to an overhead bar for 22 hours a day. The prisoner
is left alone, often in shadows. They are forced to listen to shrieking music,
with no heat source. One supervisor says that the “Salt Pit” is “good for
interrogations because it is the closest thing… to a dungeon.” I personally
believe that this is not “good for interrogation,” this is cruel and horrible
thing to do to a human being. This is inhumane, demeaning, and unnecessary
treatment of an individual, or individuals. I believe that these CIA-
designated “black sites” abroad should be shut down immediately and those
involved should be charged with the crimes that they have done.
In the second article, it talks about how two people
named James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen, they were the head of the CIA’s torture division.
Two other people were involved, Grayson Swigert and Hammond Dunbar, these two
were part of the torture tactics; waterboarding and mock burial. The second
article also includes why this all matters. This matters because someone should
not have to be getting paid to come up with different ways to start torturing
someone.
In the article that I found it says that this has
been on research for four years. They have also spent well over $40 million. They
have been getting serious questions about the terrorist attack in September. One
person named Gul Rahman was arrested six weeks after the terrorist attack in
September. He was taken the “Salt Pits”, he was taken north of Kabul. Kabul was
known as the “Salt Pits”. After the September terrorist attack the CIA headquarters
had not proved any interrogation tactics. Rahman was kept a secret, for seven
years after he had died.
