New information related to the treatment of ISIS detainees, including the recently executed journalist James Foley, show that the militants have subjected several to torture, or in the parlance of US officials, “enhanced interrogation techniques.”
Indeed, waterboarding seems to be a new tactic of ISIS, and several detainees including Foley were subjected to the simulated drowning tactic which was a favored tactic of the CIA.
“They knew exactly how it was done,” one person reported. It’s unsurprising, as no small number of ISIS fighters are former US detainees, and were doubtless waterboarded themselves in captivity.
For years, it was feared that the use of waterboarding by US forces put Americans abroad at risk of the same treatment. Now, it seems that fear it becoming practice, and when looking for an education on brutal treatment of detainees, ISIS found a perfect template in the US occupation they know all too well.
Let us hope they are able to get their hands on Wolfowitz,Rumsfeld,Bush and Cheney.A little enhanced interrogation followed by a quick beheading is just what that team of dirtbags needs.
Bullishit! Isis is the cia. It is a US initiative for producing context for US military investment. The decapitation executions are only intended to achieve back home cred as crazed Islamist. Right now all crazy islamists are working for the master race. M\\
If this is true, lets see which US officials will use the term "Enhanced interrogation techniques" when reference is made about ISIS waterboarding.

But when the US does it, it's "protecting the Homeland!!"
I'll be watching the semantic twists and turns when some of our troops are captured and pumped for information this way. How are they going to sell water boarding to the public then? "Active Hydration Therapy"?
