Where Rectal Feeding Came From and How the CIA Used It

While rectal hydration may be used in emergency situations, it’s not the first-, second- or even third-best option, said Allen Keller, director of the Bellevue/New York University Program for Survivors of Torture. It’s clear in the context of the report that there were ulterior motives in the decision to use the technique, he said.

“This was done not solely for therapeutic reasons but as another form of abuse or humiliation,” Keller said. “Given the circumstances, this is sodomy with the intention of humiliation under the guise of medical treatment.”

2. Not entirely unlike

Forcing a woman who wants an abortion to have an unnecessary, unneeded, vaginal ultrasound.

Disgusting. Despicable.

The GOP and their 'compassion' toward other living things. Nonexistent.

Bob McDonnell and his wife won't to be sentenced until January. Bet they don't see a day behind bars.

10. Thanks..

.. hadn't heard anything more about it. So much that I forgot how to spell the name! I think they will both have to serve time, but not at the same time. Don't they have kids at home still? Don't answer, not important.

5. Even if this method had some medical utility the way they employed it had none

It's not a method where feeding whole foods rectally is going to do any good at all. The method might work to a degree if the food is broken down to where nutrients can be absorbed, that can't happen when they are in their whole state.

8. It was pureed.

Chunky-style puree, no doubt.

"These Are Crimes": New Calls to Prosecute Bush Admin as Senate Report Reveals Brutal CIA Torture
http://www.democracynow.org/2014/12/10/these_are_crimes_new_calls_to

AMY GOODMAN: The Senate report details a list of torture methods used on prisoners—waterboarding, sexual threats with broomsticks, medically unnecessary "rectal feeding." In one case, a prisoner had his entire "lunch tray" of hummus, pasta and nuts puréed and administered by enema.

Tomato, tomahto.

Let's call the whole torture investigation off.

12. Did this occur under the supervision of a licensed physician? Seems like a

violation of medical ethics to me -- do no harm -- but Mengele was also a doctor, so there you have it.

Are you sure about your neighbors?
