All I have to say about that article is paranoid much? I have never seen so much disinformation and blatant falsehoods in anything that attempts to look like news. I think the Enquirer is more reliable than this.

All I have to say about that article is paranoid much? I have never seen so much disinformation and blatant falsehoods in anything that attempts to look like news. I think the Enquirer is more reliable than this.

Police departments are adopting heavy-handed military interrogation techniques against criminals which results in false and coerced confessions.

It isn't exactly what most people would consider torture, but definitely not the norm for this country. In today's society, everyone is a potential terrorist who is guilty until proven innocent and people no longer have any right to privacy or basic protections against corporal punishment.

Most professional interrogators agree that extreme interrogation techniques, or "torture", results in the detainee telling outright lies just to get the torment to stop. And if the detainee is actually innocent, he/she will often tell the interrogator whatever they want to hear, whether it be true or false.

"Torture" is used mostly in the fields of espionage and counter-terrorism. Whenever a government uses it simply as a means of terrorizing and intimidating it's citizens into submitting to politically-slanted ideals and policies, then we know that we have a HUGE problem on our hands.

In closed societies like China and North Korea, torture and execution are used as tools for political repression. Disobey the despotic state and there will be grave consequences! Given the erosion of democracy and authoritarian policing we've seen happen here in America since 9/11, I'd say there is a possibility that the US is ultimately headed towards totalitarianism.

Such treatment is officially condemned by the United States government and intelligence community along with the United Nations. You should read the CIA human resource exploitation training manual if you can find declassified/unclassified segments of it available for reading online.

Torture is still considered a crime against humanity by international laws and treaties, this is why suspected spies and terrorists are sent to blacksite prisons in foreign countries where no laws exist against such abuse. Extremely little is known about exactly what occurs at these locations because it is so heavily shrouded in secrecy.
