So, apparently Ireland v. UK provided a great deal of the international legal basis for the US Torture activity (teh mind boggles and how judges could find that the "Five techniques" were not torture). Now, the US state, like an abusive partner, apologises to the world for its ezxcesses, and promises it can change (so loyal Americanscan now say how proud they are their country and own up to such misbehaviour). And we have this:
Quote:In the US (as in many other countries), rapport is considered a vital part of police interrogation. Psychological research has long shown that building rapport with witnesses increases the amount of accurate information generated. We know that rapport enhances cooperation during interviews, and elicits more accurate information.They didn't really want information. The beatings, the humiliation, the sleep deprivation, the rectal feeding were all just vengence and brutality. And behind every response is the unspoken declaration that the state reserves the right to behave like this again.
After Ireland v. UK teh British state promised never again. That was, never until Iraq….
Reprieve website has a good source of the humbug uttered over the years by the UK government over their supposed ignorance of rendition.http://www.reprieve.org.uk/publiceducation/2012_05_22_uk_rendition_torture_complicity/
