This remarkable email chain is from April 14, 2003. The original message, from a military interrogator in Iraq to all concerned (ALCON), announces 鈥淭he gloves are coming off gentlemen regarding these detainees, [redacted] has made clear it wants these individuals broken,鈥� and asks for 鈥渨ish lists鈥� of interrogation techniques. Someone forwards this message, commenting simply, 鈥淪ounds crazy, but we鈥檙e passing this on.鈥�

The thread is picked up by a military interrogator who insists those now in U.S. custody 鈥渦nderstand force, not psychological mind games or incentives,鈥� and advocates the use of several techniques used in the U.S. military鈥檚 SERE training programs.

In the last message in the chain 鈥� another of the countless examples in the documents where Americans raised objections to what they were seeing 鈥� the writer begins, 鈥淎s for 鈥榯he gloves need to come off鈥︹�� we need to take a deep breath and remember who we are.鈥� This final email in particular is a must-read.
