Prisoner Abuse: Patterns from the Past

"Washington D.C. May 12, 2004: CIA interrogation manuals written in the 1960s and 1980s described "coercive techniques" such as those used to mistreat detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, according to the declassified documents posted today by the National Security Archive. The Archive also posted a secret 1992 report written for then Secretary of Defense Richard Cheney warning that U.S. Army intelligence manuals that incorporated the earlier work of the CIA for training Latin American military officers in interrogation and counterintelligence techniques contained "offensive and objectionable material" that "undermines U.S. credibility, and could result in significant embarrassment."

This is a supplement to the previous post; History of CIA Interrogation. I meant to include this in that post, but I forgot. This page leads to a PDF version of the CIAs' KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation manual from 1963, that was mentioned by Professor McCoy in his Democracy Now interview.
