"china inspired interrogations at guantanamo"

I'm seriously having a New York Times hating day. Well, pretty much every day. The editors have problems. I don't even blame the writers. Consider the lede and first paragraph of this article:


The military trainers who came to Guantánamo Bay in December 2002 based an entire interrogation class on a chart showing the effects of “coercive management techniques” for possible use on prisoners, including “sleep deprivation,” “prolonged constraint,” and “exposure.”

What the trainers did not say, and may not have known, was that their chart had been copied verbatim from a 1957 Air Force study of Chinese Communist techniques used during the Korean War to obtain confessions, many of them false, from American prisoners.
And the article goes on, blah blah blah. The point of this article is that in 2002, the American military adopted methods it has long considered to be torture. The point of the article is not to blame the Chinese for America's torture of prisoners in Guanantamo and elsewhere. But what kind of a headline do we get for this article? "China Inspired Interrogations at Guantanamo."

WHAT THE FUCK, NEW YORK TIMES? Here, let me write a better headline for you, "It Was Not American Troops After All In Abu Ghraib, They Were Chinese Wearing Round-Eye Masks; Or, Chinese Played American Troops Like Puppets On Strings, Used Mind Control Techniques, Forced Them To Torture Others; China Dropped Nuclear Bomb On Japan; China Killed Jesus." WHAT THE FUCK??

Note: the two top articles in the Times at this moment are (1) China made our military torture people, and (2) the Chinese military is weaker than ours, a.k.a. China is a problem for America but America's army can take care of that problem. I wonder what you want to happen, New York Times?? C.H. why do you want to own a house if that property is just going to be seized from you and you interned at Manzanar??? I am moving to Canada, fuck you all! The CAD is 1:1 with the USD now!!!!!
