This article summarises the controversial CIA Human Resource Exploitation Training Manual of 1983. The methods of interrogation of CIA have always been subject of controversy and their methods often utilize techniques which are not suitable for questioning from human point of view.
Although, in other countries, the use of force, pain and physical punishment is common, but USA is more in limelight as it ignores the rights of people and countries, imposes war on them and and then tortures their people. In this way, the developed hatred helps people find out the way prisoners are mistreated and questioned by US military and CIA. Have a look at the pictures on the left, do you think that they were abiding by this manual. To give you more evidence of US Military torture, watch these three videos shown below:

We now start the summary of the manual that lists the most important part which is about Coercive Techniques:
Prohibition Against Force:
The use of force, mental torture, threats, insults or exposure to inhumane treatment is not allowed by international and domestic law and should not be used as it also gives unreliable results. Having used force, it is also the possibility that the subject may later give adverse publicity to the methods used for interrogation.
