I knew that our "harsh interrogation techniques" were borrowed from the military's program where soldiers are subjected to ... torture. What I didn't know was that those programs were specifically introduced to give our soldiers an idea of what the communist countries were doing to
our soldiers during the cold war specifically to extract
false confessions to be used against us. I'm still having trouble choking down the irony.
Now that information has bubbled up to our
comic strips:
