The CIA adapted the proposed methods from those used in military
survival school, which conducts intense mock interrogations to prepare
armed forces personnel for possible capture. The Joint Personnel
Recovery Agency trained CIA officers in the methods in the spring of
2002. The methods are drawn from American prisoners of war real-life
experiences at the hands of Communist Chinese, North Korean and
Vietnamese interrogators.
Almost simultaneously to the NSC's decision to approve harsh
interrogations, the Joint Personnel Recovery Agency had sent a memo to
the Pentagon's general counsel's office outlining the methods that
would come to be used in CIA interrogations, including waterboarding,
slamming detainees into walls, stress positions, and dousing detainees
with cold water.
The memo said the methods "may be very effective in inducing learned
helplessness and 'breaking'" detainees' "will to resist."
But in a separate attachment, the training officials told Pentagon
lawyers that harsh physical techniques could backfire by making
prisoners more resistant. They also said that if the use physical
methods on prisoners were discovered, the public and political
backlash would be "intolerable."

Did you see that, 2pid? Let me say that...again:

experiences at the hands of Communist Chinese, North Korean and
Vietnamese interrogators.
So now that you've traitorously endorsed the torture of American
military personnel, I ask you: WTF has this to do with Pelosi?
LoL.
