Psychological torture is not allowed anymore under any circumstances. ICRC monitors interrogations recordings. Besides, these detainees have no further useful information. Most are still incarcerated only to prevent them from going back to fighting and because we can't do anything with them. Source: I'm a DoD interrogator.

EDIT: This is not my AMA. I wanted to clarify a bit the question posed. My job is used to prevent as much as possible attacks on US interests, land, and people. Thus, I don't want to shine too much info on the subject in such a public forum

EDIT 2: This thread has lost focus. I provided a tidbit to answer a question and more questions came in for me, which was fine at first. Then two people started attacking with opinions and even i lost focus. I apologize OP. I believe in what i do and i fight for what i believe. I will erase my negative comments that serve no purpose to the original topic.

Not once have i made any pro torture claim. Btw, you still haven't seen anything personally.

You're an idiot. I will not entertain a troll

I have NEVER tortured a detainee in any way. I believe that if you do, you aren't good at this job. But it is necessary to obtain information from detainees to prevent attacks, disrupt networks, stop the flow of financial ops, detain leaders, find supplies, training camps, and minimize conflict.

Again, saying info is necessary doesn't equate to saying torture is necessary. Also, i still don't read anything from you in first count perspective so you continue to don't know what you are talking about. You are still trolling.

There are ways and loopholes used by others than DoD. But regulations, bureaucracy, and red tape have our hands tied. Torture IMHO is when an action leaves a lasting psychological or physical damage. Nowadays, we aren't allowed to put a detainee in stress positions. Forget slapping or environmental manipulation or sleep deprivation. I don't do it because it isn't illegal. I have seen the enemy. I broken bread with them. They are far more committed than we are. They can wait for generations.
