Torture Tips (Number 1 in a Series)

I was searching for an online course in torture to fulfill general credits for my major in War on Terror Studies and ran across the training manual for the School of the Americas (I heard they changed their name, hired a new assistant principal, and have a new mascot – Go Vultures!). Talk about open source! They made this 1983 torture training manual available free online for us independent learners. Check it: http://www.voltairenet.org/IMG/pdf/en-tortures_2.pdf . Here’s a tip I learned from Chapter II on Techniques which includes such well-known strategies as “NOBODY LOVES YOU,” “GOING NEXT DOOR,” and my personal favorite “WE KNOW EVERYTHING.” (It bothers me that when using this technique the subject must wonder why we are so interested in what they have to say if we already know everything.) The new technique is called “DOUBLE INFORMERS:”
“PLANTING AN INFORMANT IN A SUBJECT’S CELL IS A WELL-KNOWN TRICK. LESS WELL KNOWN IS THE TRICK OF PLANTING TWO INFORMANTS (A & B) IN THE SAME CELL. NOW AND THEN. “A” TRIES TO PRY A LITTLE INFORMATION FROM THE SUBJECT. AT THE PROPER TIME, AND DURING A’S ABSENCE, “B” WARNS THE SUBJECT NOT TO TELL “A” ANYTHING BECAUSE “B” SUSPECTS HIM OF BEING AN INFORMANT.”
I love it. I wonder if you could even have three informants (A, B, & C) or if that might be too suspicious. Or confusing.
