UK interrogation training manuals on detainees: ‘Get them naked,’ search foreskin



UK interrogation training manuals on detainees: ‘Get them naked,’ search foreskin
By Eric W. Dolan
Tuesday, October 26th, 2010 -- 2:23 pm

British military manuals leaked to The Guardian and used to train interrogators in techniques involving humiliation, disorientation, exhaustion and fear may violate international laws.

The training manuals describe a number of interrogation techniques used to "pressure" detainees. Some of these techniques include enforced nakedness, sensory deprivation, humiliating cavity searches, and stress positions.

The manuals leaked to The Guardian were created in 2005 and 2008, and included some "more recent" materials.

One manual, prepared in April of 2008, informs interrogators to keep prisoners in conditions of physical discomfort and encourages enforced nakedness.

"Get them naked," as another manual says. "Keep them naked if they do not follow commands."

3. kinda hard to search the foreskin, muslims tend not to have them.
Which means the writer is ignorant of that little cultural practice of Islam, or it is meant for a more general usage.
