Waterboarders follow a mind-breaking formation in a dedicated military base where they are desensitized to torture by subjugating themselves to it first!
Anyway I don't like the article's take. It seems to blame this on an institutional drift into sadism. I don't think it's the full story, there must be a strategy behind it.
Inducing trauma so that migrants don't ever think about coming back? Maybe coupled with Palantir machine learning insights to identify those who need/respond to this treatment?
>Well, if we did this to these Terrorists there, why not to these other Criminals here…
Simplistic. These guys are part of a hierarchy.
>"EVERYTHING WE SAY, they can see." The end result of mass surveillance is mass murder.
Well no it's meant for targeted murder.
>You should not oppose this simply because it is coming, at some point in the future, for you. You should oppose this because it is happening to anyone. But it is coming for you.
Is it coming or not?
