Topic: Big Lies
Bush claims that we have to keep our "enhanced interrogation" techniques secret to prevent Al Qaeda from training its members to resist such techniques. But. according to A Question of Torture by Alfred McCoy, none of these techniques are much good, even on people who haven't been trained to resist, and the claims to the contrary are based on ignorance or lies:
"As noted, FBI interrogators found the military's techniques produced little real information and interfered with their own bureau's proven methods of building rapport through long, noncoercive questioning." [p 196 - I don't know what they mean by "long," but considering that a typical detainee subjected to "enhanced interrogation" is isolated for months, the proven methods almost certainly take less time.]
Bush's lie about the purpose of the secrecy is also a means to subtly repeat the lie that "IE" is effective at obtaining information. Mentioning that it is not effective is taboo within the Establishment, because Satanism is the state religion (Christian Fundamentalism is a front for Satanism, for purposes of the fake apocalypse), and IE is a form of SRA/Satanism.
One purpose of EI is to serve as an intermediate level of SRA. I suspect that EI is also intended to facilitate various aspects of the 8th Sphere agenda, which includes the literal theft of brain matter for the 8th Sphere by creating certain states of mind (see my essay on the 8th Sphere). The CIA freely admits that one of its purposes is to break the will of the victims (which is related to the 8S agenda), but by the time that is achieved, the victims are reduced to basket cases. John C. Lilly, who did research for the CIA, soon realized that the CIA had no good motive for breaking a person's will, and quit. Besides, look at what they did to Padilla - they put him in isolation for about THREE YEARS, which can hardly be construed as a desire to obtain information quickly.
The actual reason that Bush and Cheney want to keep the "enhanced interrogation" techniques under wraps is that they don't want US to know what their fellow sadists are up to, and that their activity has nothing to do with obtaining useful information to prevent terrorism. (Just assume that whatever they say is a lie, and look at what they're doing if possible.)
I gather that from now on, "enhanced interrogation" will be kept secret from us, and any cases that leak out will be said to be extreme and rare, although I imagine that more lurid "leaks" will be fed to the Islamic masses to keep them enraged, just as the dirty deeds of Israel's "apocalypse" faction are heavily whitewashed by our media, leaving Americans (and many Israelis) clueless about the motives of Palestinians who lash out.
