World War II vets on interrogation

bloc posted on Aug 20, 2008 | views: 49 | Tags: politics, bush, torture
"The group of World War II veterans kept a military code and the decorum of their generation, telling virtually no one of their top-secret work interrogating Nazi prisoners of war at Fort Hunt.
...
"We got more information out of a German general with a game of chess or Ping-Pong than they do today, with their torture," said Henry Kolm, 90, anMIT physicist who had been assigned to play chess in Germany with Hitler's deputy, Rudolf Hess."

A must read. I can here SMB now, "those fucking liberal elitist WWII vets". LOL

    "During the many interrogations, I never laid hands on anyone," said George Frenkel, 87, of Kensington. "We extracted information in a battle of the wits. I'm proud to say I never compromised my humanity."

    the article quoth:
    "i feel like the military is using us to say, 'we did spooky stuff then, so it's okay to do it now,' " said arno mayer, 81, a professor of european history at princeton university.
