I didn't deliberately misread. I assumed you meant what method of torture. You assumed wrong. I was talking about ticking bomb suspects, whom you claimed didn't exist, or hardly ever except on TV. I said that not only did they exist, they existed with regularity in Israel, where their arrests often led to them being made to talk, but I didn't know what methods were used. I gave you the most recent article about such a case. You weren't interested because it didn't have torture in it. Torture is illegal in Israel too, as you don't seem to realize. The Israelis used to use certain methods that they called "physical pressure" (which I suppose, like the CIA's methods, were not torture but on the edge of it) but the Israeli Supreme Court made those illegal too. Now Israeli interrogators say they rely on psychological pressure. I don't know what they do. I do know that getting suspects to talk, especially when you need them to talk fast, does not usually involve tea and crumpets, in any country, but threats, trickery and intimidation.
