  • Appendix M of Army Field Manual on Interrogations Dear Mr
    Nov. 16, 2010 The Honorable Robert M. Gates Secretary of Defense 100 Defense Pentagon Washington, DC 20301 Re: Appendix M of Army Field Manual on Interrogations Dear Mr. Secretary, We are writing regarding the updated U.S. Army Field Manual on Interrogations, adopted on September 6, 2006 and officially known as “FM 2-22.3, Human Intelligence Collector Operations.” While we support efforts to adopt a single, well-defined standard of conduct for U.S. personnel engaged in the detention and interrogation of all people in U.S. custody, we are very concerned about a handful of changes that were written into the manual in 2006. The most critical of these may be found in an appendix, added to the updated manual, that places unnecessary restrictions on an effective interrogation technique known as “separation.” Separation must not be confused with isolation. The former seeks only to protect a detainee from the negative influences of—or unnecessary exposure to—other detainees. The latter is commonly employed as a means of punishment and/or coercion in an ill-conceived effort to “break” a detainee. These restrictions make it very difficult, in all but the most sensitive situations, for U.S. interrogators to create an environment of trust and protection that is often necessary to gain the cooperation of certain detainees, especially those who have been identified as “high value.” Unnecessarily restricting the use of this technique may severely hamper the United States’ ability to obtain accurate and complete information from detainees. Perhaps unintentionally, the appendix also appears to authorize the use of several sensory and sleep deprivation tactics that could be employed in an abusive fashion.

  • The Strait of Hormuz: Al-Qaeda's Newest Jihad Zone?
    SMALL WARS JOURNAL smallwarsjournal.com The Strait of Hormuz: al-Qaeda’s Newest Jihad Zone? Malcolm Nance After the July 28 explosion alongside the Japanese oil tanker M. Star in the Strait of Hormuz (SOH) initial speculation was that it had struck a derelict sea mine from the 1991 Iraq war, encountered a rogue wave from an earthquake in Iran or had a collision with a whale or submarine. Pundits and even some counter-terror observers, particularly those in the Gulf States, spent an inordinate amount of time attempting to explain it away with any possibility except the most obvious one - terrorism. That can no longer be ignored. When news of the incident broke caution was called for in the region as to assigning a specific cause and terrorism was specifically rejected as likely. Here in the UAE, skepticism is the preferred form of denial and critics of the suicide boat theory are being given strong voice. The very mention of the possibility of terrorism originating in or near the United Arab Emirates is met with hushes and alternative explanations, hence the whale, wave and submarine theories. The “T” word (Terrorism) is not welcome in public or political discourse. Some political pundits claim that conventional war with Iran is a greater threat to the Strait. That may be true solely in relation to Iran’s nuclear ambitions, but a wave of successful al-Qaeda suicide attacks could destabilize the markets in a way that rising tensions with Iran cannot. However, on 6 August the UAE Coast Guard confirmed a terrorist act was indeed the cause of the blast.

September 2017 Acknowledgements I would like to take this opportunity to thank Sam Burton and James Marson for all of the advice and support they have provided. Further, I would like to express my gratitude towards them for their continual dedication to the Sheffield Hallam Law department. Abstract This thesis aims to explore why torture, deemed illegitimate by the Western world for more than a century, has resurfaced as a topic of debate, and persists despite its formal prohibition. It also endeavours to shed light on the main issues involved in the ‘torture debate’. To do so, it begins by exploring the history of torture; examining how it has developed over time, and how its uses have changed.

  • Gaslit Nation Mueller Speaks! Andrea Chalupa Sarah Kendzior Theme Music Robert Mueller: and As Set Forth in the Report After
    Gaslit Nation Mueller Speaks! Andrea Chalupa Sarah Kendzior Theme Music Robert Mueller: And as set forth in the report after that investigation, if we had had confidence that the President clearly did not commit a crime we would have said so. We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime. The introduction to the volume 2 of our report explains that decision. It explains that under long-standing department policy, a present president can not be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. And I will close by reiterating the central allegation of our indictments that there were multiple systematic efforts to interfere in our election. And that allegation deserves the attention of every American. Sarah Kendzior: I'm Sarah Kendzior, a journalist and scholar of authoritarian states, and the author of the book The View from Flyover Country. Andrea Chalupa: I'm Andrea Chalupa, a writer and the screenwriter and producer of the upcoming journalistic thriller Gareth…sorry! "Mr. Jones.” My film is called Mr. Jones. Sarah Kendzior: And this is Gaslit Nation, a podcast covering corruption in the Trump administration and rising autocracy around the world. And today we are joined by a very special guest Andrea's sister, Alexandra Chalupa, a researcher and activist who is one of the first Americans to alert the world to the dangers of the Trump campaign's illicit collaboration with Russia. Alexandra will be telling us her story, in her own words, later in the show. But first, we are going to discuss the press conference that Robert Mueller just held on the Russia investigation and his resignation from the Department of Justice.

  • Testimony of Ambassador Michael Mcfaul1
    Testimony of Ambassador Michael McFaul1 Hearing of the House Permanent Select Committee of Intelligence Putin’s Playbook: The Kremlin’s Use of Oligarchs, Money and Intelligence in 2016 and Beyond March 28, 2019 When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the worldwide ideological struggle between communism and liberalism – in other words, freedom, democracy, capitalism – also ended. Thankfully, the ideological contest between Moscow and Washington that shaped much of world politics for several decades in the twentieth century has not reemerged. However, for at least a decade now, Russian president Vladimir Putin has been waging a new ideological struggle, first at home, and then against the West more generally, and the United States in particular. He defines this contest as a battle between the decadent, liberal multilateralism that dominates in the West and his brand of moral, conservative, sovereign values. I define this contest as one between autocracy, corruption, state domination of the economy, and indifference to international norms versus democracy, rule of law, free markets, and respect for international law. This new ideological struggle is primarily being waged not between states, but within states. At home, Putin has eroded checks and balances on executive power, undermined the autonomy of political actors, regional governments, the media, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and strengthened state ownership throughout the Russian economy. To propagate his ideas and pursue his objectives abroad, Putin has invested in several powerful instruments of influence, many of which parallel those used for governing within Russia, including traditional media, social media, the weaponization of intelligence (doxing), financial support for allies, business deals for political aims, and even the deployment of coercive actors abroad, including soldiers, mercenaries, and assassins.

I am going to discuss those requirements through a case study of failure: the government lawyers whose legal opinions gave a green light to torture. This is obviously a pretty unusual case, loaded with melodrama. But I think there are lessons in it for every lawyer who takes on the advisor's role. Suppose you practice business law. Your client comes to you and says "We have a major deal in the works. It is aggressive and cutting edge, and we need an opinion from you saying that it is legal." Obviously, you cannot promise that. First, you need to know what the deal is.
