Recent Changes

Many governments have been using water boarding since WWII. Like... Japan and Cambodia
Beyond forced labor, inmates were forced to attempt to survive under extreme conditions
The infamous Josef Mengele conducted experiments by 'testing the boundaries of the human body.'
Surgeries, Icy water, ink in the eyes, and viruses into children.
Water Boarding, an example of enhanced interrogation used in Guantanamo Bay.

Theme of the Book
I was planning on relating it to the book by mentioning how O'Brian tortured Winston at the end.

Discussion Threads
Added some more pictures to make the presentation better.

Gas Chamber used in Auschwitz concentration camp:
Used to kill people that were deemed too weak.
Josef Mengele conducted expirements on children and the "limits on the human body."
Drugs were tested, they were frozen and timed, ink was injected in their eyes to change their eye color and other types of brutal surgeries
Doctors would put jews the the icy cold water so they could see how long the body take it.
No anastesia was used. Everything was done while they were awake.

Modern Day Torture:
Waterboarding was not used randomly and promiscuously, but rather on three known terrorists. And of the thousands of unlawful combatants captured by the U.S., fewer than 100 were detained and questioned in the CIA program, according to Michael Hayden, President Bush’s last CIA director.

The claims of enhanced torture techniques are unpleasant but are a necessary tool.

Reflection:
This project was very tough on me because we had to incorporate a lot of team work, critical thinking, and be able to utilize the online resources that are given to you. The toughest part of this was to relate the topic of our project to our book we chose. Although the topic is clear but unfortunately that topic is not clearly evident in the book. So that meant we have to use our critical thinking ability to find the corelation. One other struggle our group faced was the on our wiki, we really couldn't find a ton of graphs to display so we made up for that in pictures.

The German military also used a variety of other techniques including sensory deprivation, minimal ration of food and water, uncomfortable or hard beds, sensory overload through loud noises and bright lights, beatings, and emotional abuse.
In war crimes trials conducted after the war, these techniques were ruled illegal in several criminal courts and some nations have signed resolutions against torture.
