The military's interrogation secrets

A newly declassified Pentagon report details the development of interrogation methods used at Guantánamo Bay and Abu Ghraib.

Editor's note: Last month, the Pentagon quietly declassified a stunningly detailed report on the genesis of brutal interrogation techniques that were used at Guantánamo, techniques that later metastasized in Iraq. The chronology in the report shows exactly how the military reverse-engineered techniques that were originally designed to train U.S. Special Operations soldiers at Fort Bragg, N.C., how to resist, if captured, abusive interrogations that violate the Geneva Conventions. When Salon's Mark Benjamin wrote about the possibility of reverse engineering in June 2006, the Army denied it had happened. "We do not teach interrogation techniques," Carol Darby, chief spokeswoman for the U.S. Army Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg, insisted in an e-mail then. "Interrogation policy and techniques are taught by other military schools."
