"Long Time Standing"    This is the term used by the CIA to
describe one of the "alternative methods" that this president
has authorized with respect to military detainees. The CIA's
description is this:   Here's another description of the
technique:   Here's another:   The second description is from
"The Gulag Archipelago." The third is from Guantanamo Bay. One
detainee at Gitmo, closely monitored by the administration, was
chained to a chair and not allowed to move even while medics had
to pump three bags of saline into him to prevent him from
passing out. Others have been forced into "stress positions" as
illustrated above, or forced to stand with their wrists manacled
to bars or a ceiling so they can never rest; or with their feet
or hands manacled to a bolt on the floor so they cannot move at
all for long periods of time. You can read several side-by-side
comparisons of Bush's methods and the Soviet techniques
documented by Solzhenytsen here.  Jump to comments  2006-2011
