"For all the press coverage of abuses, including torture, of our 'detainees,' most Americans are unaware of the partnership between military interrogators and military doctors and psychiatrists in 'breaking' prisoners who refuse to provide information. A chilling account of this utter betrayal of medical ethics appeared in the July 2005 New England Journal of Medicine ('Doctors and Interrogators at Guantanamo Bay'), hardly a widely circulated publication."
People in the United States fail to appreciate the global revulsion produced by -- and the continuing importance of -- this story of torture, both in Gitmo and Abu Ghraib (also at home) throughout the world. The atrocities committed by Americans in Iraq are every bit as hateful to most people in many countries as what happened on 9/11. This is not surprising since the number of civilian casualties in Iraq now approaches 500,000 or more. The symbolic importance of the torture pictures is also ignored in Washington.
"[Torture] is an issue that strongly informs world opinion of this country, and Americans remain clueless about it. Sign up for daily news alerts about Guantanamo and you learn that the foreign papers regularly publish articles on hunger strikes, silent prisoner releases and legal wrangling at the camp. Major American papers rarely cover these things, and most of us would be hard pressed to name a detainee held there." (Lithwick, p. 11. Coincidence?)
The techniques used in Guantanamo were first developed through secret experimentation on victims within the United States, many of whom will never know that they were questioned under hypnosis, manipulated, or otherwise affected by the misuse of forensic psychiatric methods at the hands of unscrupulous and sadistic torturers trained in psychology and psychiatry, such as New Jersey's Terry Tuchin and Diana Lisa Riccioli. Many of these victims have committed no crimes. They have never been informed of the experiments performed, secretly, on them nor of the tortures and violations of rights to which they have been subjected.
How many officials in New Jersey are aware of the activities of those two torturers, Tuchin and Riccioli? Who authorized their criminal actions beginning in 1988? Who is responsible for the continuing cover-up of their hateful crimes? Victims' lives, personal and professional relationships may be destroyed, with impunity, by so-called "therapists" making use of these secret techniques. Where are those reports, Terry? How about the videos and other tapes? Do you supply sexual victims to judges to get away with your crimes? Does Diana do such a thing? Does this explain Diana's "closeness" to judges and justices or former justices?
My tortures began in 1988, long before 9/11 and the heightened security measures that followed that event. I consented to nothing. "We'll just pretend that nothing happened," right Terry? The secrecy concerning such "psych-ops" means that victims are deceived or told nothing about what has been done to them, by whom they have been victimized, what drugs have been given, if any, what hypnosis techniques were used, which records and films have been retained by officials. Lack of knowledge and cover-ups, the impossibility of "moving on" is part of the life-long effects of these horrible tortures, tortures which sometimes allow the authorities to obstruct justice (criminal offense), while denying victims the truth concerning their own lives. (See "Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli and New Jersey's Agency of Torture" and "Psychological Torture in the American Legal System" at my msn group, Critique.)
"One former CIA psychologist, who still feels guilty about his participation in certain Agency operations, believes that the CIA's fixation on control and manipulation mirrors, in a more virulent form, the way Americans deal with each other generally. 'I don't think the CIA is too far removed from the culture,' he says. [I do.] 'It's just a matter of degree. If you put a lot of money out there, there are many people who are lacking the ethics even of the CIA. At least the Agency had an ideological basis.' This psychiatrist believes that the United States has become an extremely control-oriented society -- from the classroom to politics to television advertising. Spying and the PAS techniques are unique only in that they are more systematic and secret."
The Search for the Manchurian Candidate, p. 189. (See my essay on "Foucault, Rose, Davis and the Meaning of Prison.") See also, Robert Jay Lifton, "The Nazi Doctors," in Donald L. Niewyk, ed., The Holocaust (Boston: Houghton & Miflin, 2003), p. 60.
"For fifty years, American scientists conducted experiments [on unsuspecting citizens] expected to worsen the symptoms of their mentally ill patients" -- or to create symptoms for persons without them -- "and as they did so, time and again, they misled [victims,] hiding their true purposes from them. This experimentation was done primarily on vulnerable people who did not know what was being done to them, which was precisely the type of science that the Nurenberg Code had sought to banish."
Robert Whitaker, Mad in America (Cambridge: Perseus, 2002), p. 247. (These experiments persisted through the nineties and may still be committed today.)
Government agencies and courts secretly condone these heinous criminal actions in violation of the U.S. Constitution, becoming co-conspirators to crimes against humanity, then seek some offense that might be used to blame the victim. If necessary, victims are framed to provide cover for torturers and their allies, usually after victims are sexually assaulted. Only one book has followed upon the revelation of the Defense Department's use of torture doctors: Steven Miles, Oath Betrayed.
"The book was published by Random House last year, but has largely disappeared from press and public attention. In his April 7 interview with Miles, Peter Rowe of The San Diego Union Tribune noted that 'Amazon reported that 227, 826 other volumes were outselling Oath Betrayed."
"... it was Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld who authorized the collaboration between interrogators and doctors preparing prisoners for torture." (One new "error" inserted by N.J. hackers since my previous review of this essay.)
Did Deborah T. Poritz authorize the tortures, Terry? Did you submit those mysterious reports concerning me that I am not allowed to see to the New Jersey Supreme Court? Did Ms. Poritz "approve" of the sexual humiliation and abuse? Or were details not disclosed? Who else was present at these sessions? How many other lives have been destroyed by you? Did Diana fill you in or invite you to join her sessions of "sexual contact" with victims? How many have been raped? Did Diana supply Debbie with sexual "conquests"?
"In an April 2003 memorandum, Donald Rumsfeld ordered that 'interrogations must always ... take into account ... a detainee's emotional and physical strengths and weaknesses ... [and] manipulate [those] emotions and weaknesses.' ..."
"... doctors suggested how to break a victim down ... [One] approach aimed at a prisoner's personal vulnerabilities, his worst fears, for example."
"No detail was too insignificant for these specialists in cruel and inhuman treatment."
How do you live in Clifton (Riccioli) or Ridgewood (Tuchin), New Jersey and lead a normal life, while knowing that you torture people for the state? How does a Jew become Mengele, Terry? How many victims are sitting in mental institutions or prisons not knowing what has been done to them or why? How do you live with yourself, Tuchin? What do you say to yourself that makes it O.K.? How do your "judicial protectors" live with themselves, then judge others, after swearing to uphold the same Constitution which they violate? How do you keep from throwing up when you see yourself in the mirror, Riccioli? Ethics? In New Jersey? Do you believe that deleting letters or inserting other "errors" in this essay does anything other than confirm these accusations?
"One psychologist authorized the use of snarling dogs to 'exploit individual phobias.' And another psychologist ... suggested putting the prisoner in a swivel chair to prevent him from fixing his eyes on one spot thereby avoiding the guards."
Experiments using hypnosis have focused on inducing amnesia -- including amnesia about professional responsibilities or jobs to be done -- and making use of quickly inflicted hypnosis without the awareness of victims. These techniques have been found especially useful for obtaining "sexual gratification" by some very twisted persons. See John Marks, The Search for the Manchurian Candidate: The CIA and Mind Control (New York: Dell, 1988), pp. 194-205.
"Moreover, Steven Miles reports in Oath Betrayed [2006] that 'a civil lawsuit and an FBI memo describe four prisoners -- three at Guantanamo and one apparently in Afghanistan -- who were denied a prostetic limb [and] antibiotics for festering wounds' ... until they cooperated with investigators."
Is this allowed under the Hypocratic Oath? Is this medicine? Is this legal ethics? Were all your victims minority lawyers, Terry? Why were they "selected" for participation in this hideous secret experiment? Did victims come from all walks of life? Are all of your victims -- the women you have sex with under hypnosis -- minority group members, Diana? After sufficient damage is done there is little fear by torturers that victims will have either the resources or inclination to pursue their legal remedies. What's the connection between forensic psychiatrists and New Jersey's OAE? Was Diana supplying judges or justices, besides Debbie, with sexual conquests? Is that why this is still being covered-up? How friendly are Diana and Debbie today? Is that "friendship" what this is all about? Is that why it's o.k. to attack my computer every day?
"Another detailed source of how the torture doctors operate is the soon to-be-updated 2005 report, 'Break Them Down: Systematic Use of Psychological Torture by U.S. Forces' from the Physicians for Human Rights (phrusa.org)." http://www.phrusa.org/ (forthcoming, 2008).
I will be writing to this organization about my experiences. I will then post my letter here. Physicians under AMA and International Principles of Medical Ethics are prohibited from participating in torture and "all forms of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment." Everything you, Terry and Diana, have done to me is an abomination prohibited under the Nuremberg Code. For you -- or anyone contaminated by you or your methods -- to speak of "ethics" to me is a grotesque "affront to decency." This includes New Jersey's Supreme Court to the extent that it has been aware of or a part of these atrocities. They must have been aware of the horror for many years. They must be aware of it today. New Jersey has chosen to "demur."
Do you pay off powerful officials in New Jersey, Terry and Diana? If not, then how do you get away with your crimes? How's the "family-like" organization, Diana?
"Are none of the doctors in these prisons troubled by what they see, even if some are not directly involved? 'There is evidence,' says Physicians for Human Rights, 'of failure on the part of health professionals to report abuse as well as evidence of complicity in acts of physical and psychological torture.' ..."
So far, nothing has happened in New Jersey. No sanctions have been imposed for these horrible crimes. A cover-up continues. What have you become, Stuart Rabner? Didn't you put your hand on the Bible when you took your oath of office? Did that oath mean something to you? Does the Constitution mean something to you? Do you believe in freedom of speech?
