British TV to Show ‘Guantanamo-Style’ Stress Techniques
The program, due to air in mid-March, will examine the effects of the interrogation techniques over 48 hours in a London warehouse. It is part of a four-part series on torture hosted by news presenter Jon Snow.
It could be a useful way of showing viewers that seemingly innocuous techniques like sleep deprivation can have a devastating effect, said Steve Crawshaw, director of Human Rights Watch’s London office.
After all the ‘justification’ I’ve heard about it ‘not really being torture’ since it’s just a bit of sleep deprivation, some stress positions and a bit of playing with dogs, this will probably change a few minds in the UK. Doubtless it won’t be shown in the US but it’s the kind of thing that will enflame moderate, enrage left-leaning folks and cause the apologists for war to cough and look around. If they had the decency, that is.
Nothing serious, right?
