spud i'm talking about the military manual on interrogation techniques that obama has not revised. it allows for psychological techniques and i'm not sure which category all these fall into, such as sleep deprivation etc. obama has gotten rid of enhanced techniques (such as waterboarding) and renditions, but standard military techniques include nudity, bags over the head etc etc. shouldn't doctors oversee these? how far do they go? i don't think we know the details and obama won't be allowing that info to get out... for good reason of course.

KSM's revelations helped authorities identify and incarcerate at least six major terrorists:"
