Il caso di David McBride ha dei casi simili.
John Kiriakou, ad esempio, ha rivelato pubblicamente l'esistenza e l'uso di tecniche di interrogatorio che equivalgono a tortura, tra cui il waterboarding (simulazione dell'annegamento), da parte della CIA. È stato il primo ex ufficiale dell’agenzia a rivelarlo. È finito in carcere, ha perso il lavoro e anche il diritto alla pensione. Dovrà lavorare fino alla morte per potersi sostenere.

Gotta love #Republican Child Rearing 😱
Wasatch County #GOP chairman accused of #Waterboarding teen daughter
“The investigation began Jan. 21 when police received a report from the Division of Child and Family Services that a teenage girl "did not feel safe in her home and expressed fear for her life," according to a police booking affidavit.
During an interview, the girl said her father waterboarded her as punishment for not cleaning her room and "having it be spotless to (her father's) expectations" before she went out with friends, the affidavit states”

While he was Vice President, the Congressional Research Office uncovered that Dick Cheney held 433,000 stock options in Halliburton, where he'd been CEO from 1995 to 2000. He was also receiving $150K/ year in deferred payments while claiming he had broken all ties with the arms manufacturer.

Even #Biden’s Lawyers Are Urging the White House to Change Course on #Gaza
An open letter from government attorneys questions the legal cover for arms transfers to #Israel.
Shawn Musgrave
May 10 2024"In a message to Attorney General Merrick Garland and other senior officials this week, federal government attorneys invoked British abolitionist #WilliamWilberforce: 'You may choose to look the other way, but you can never say again that you did not know.'
"The letter, drafted by unnamed legal and policy staff at more than two dozen federal agencies, argues that the U.S. is violating domestic and international law by providing a steady stream of weapons to Israel despite evidence of war crimes in Gaza. Drawing comparisons to the infamous 'torture memos,' which were drafted by government lawyers to provide cover to #CIA #waterboarding and other tactics, the letter reminded fellow attorneys of their binding duty to follow the law over political priorities.
"Multiple provisions in U.S. law restrict the sale or provision of weapons to other countries, including the federal Arms Export Control Act, the Foreign Assistance Act, and the Leahy Law. The open letter draws on evidence from #HumanRightsWatch, #AmnestyInternational, and other watchdogs to argue that continuing to provide weapons to Israel blatantly violates these laws, in addition to international treaties.
"'There is strong evidence that American weapons are being used to commit a genocide and war crimes against the #Palestinian people in Gaza,' reads the letter sent to the Biden administration on Monday. It was addressed to all attorneys at the White House, Justice Department, State Department, Defense Department, and the U.S. Agency for International Development.
"'To the extent that you have been involved in these decisions or asked to provide legal analyses on the potential violations, we ask that you render candid advice.'
"Attorneys and legal staff from departments including Justice, Homeland Security and Labor, among other agencies, drafted the letter. They did not include their names. In interviews, four of the letter’s organizers — who spoke on the condition of anonymity — told The Intercept that they feared #reprisal.
"'There’s a fear of #retaliation and marginalization at speaking out over Gaza,' said a DOJ attorney who helped draft the letter and spread the word among his colleagues.
“There’s a fear of retaliation and marginalization at speaking out over Gaza,” said a DOJ attorney who helped draft the letter and spread the word among his colleagues.
"'There is an underbelly of the U.S. government who have been advocating in professional and personal roles to change the policy on Gaza,' said a DHS attorney, who has worked in the federal government for more than a decade. 'The #dissent is not just within the State Department,' the attorney said, referring to a string of recent #StateDepartment officials who have publicly resigned over Gaza.
"Those who signed the letter — which was first reported by Politico — see it as a way to leverage their familiarity with the federal government machinery to bring about change.
"'It’s not kids fresh out of college drafting this,' the DHS attorney said.
"Their letter was timed to the Biden administration’s deadline to report to Congress on whether Israel is, in fact, violating international law in Gaza using U.S.-supplied weapons. On Wednesday, the administration missed that deadline but said the report would be finalized in the coming days."

Negli ultimi mesi, Israele ha affermato che almeno 30 dipendenti dell'UNRWA hanno partecipato all'attacco di Hamas del 7 ottobre. In seguito a queste accuse, circa 20 Paesi e istituzioni hanno sospeso i finanziamenti all'agenzia, ma alcuni di essi li hanno poi ripresi.
Secondo il rapporto, i membri del personale dell'UNRWA detenuti da Israele sono stati costretti a confessare la loro partecipazione agli attacchi del 7 ottobre.
L'abuso, che ha comportato minacce e coercizione, ha incluso "un trattamento simile al #waterboarding".Secondo i dati del rapporto, tra i detenuti che sono stati rilasciati attraverso il valico di #KeremShalom nella Striscia di Gaza, senza essere perseguiti, ci sono 43 minori e 84 donne, interrogati dello #ShinBet più volte prima del loro rilascio dalla custodia. ⬇️3

does anybody remember the film project #brainstorm? In this movie they could record experiences and emotions with a headset and later on play these back via the same headset to other people that experience the same emotions as the person these were recorded from. One possible use case for this in the film was torture.
If you create a scene in #VR which can traumatise you, this will leave no visible marks. It can replace technics like #waterboarding which is not allowed anymore.
