Torture or No Torture? (4) · 19 November 2006, 21:07 CET by Charles Vermeulen

In today’s edition of discussion program Buitenhof Chief of Staff of the Dutch armed forces Dick Berlijn described what has happened, to his knowlegde, in Al-Samawah, Iraq: no high tones were used by the MIVD, but ‘some of background noise’ in order to avoid that detainees could communicate with each other, detainees were put on a blinded goggle and ‘water was thrown’, but neither high pressure syringes nor fire-engines were used. The latter seems to be a red herring of Berlijn, for it wasn’t the question if high pressure syringes were used, but if the detainees were wetted to keep them awake.
