Actually not a spoiler on both counts. I suggest you check the video.
All of the symptoms described-aside from physical scarring-is very much in line with water boarding as that NK guard mentioned was standard practice. Repeated water boarding causes immense stress on the cardiovascular system, weaking it. It will eventually lead to cardiac events that would not be detectable after time passes without a full autopsy, which they didn't do. Similar to a human jumping into freezing cold water, your body will just not be able to synchronize breathing and pumping blood properly under this kind of stress. You don't get used to it.
Repeated over time, this synchronization will eventually be so out of whack, your heart will be damaged, and you'll have a heart attack or throw a clot. Many whistleblowers talked about this during the last Iraq war. We don't even know how many people died in Guantanamo because of this exact thing.
I mean, if someone never heard of this affair, those are main spoilers.
I'm sure you do bro.
The “confession” they had him read was the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. It’s like bill gates admitting to soiling a hotel towel in exchange for a half eaten Big Mac and the CIA backed him up with the promise of getting him membership to publishers clearing house.
This reminds me of how the grapes of wrath was banned in Russia because it showed that even the poorest most desperate people in the west still had cars.
“What was his motivation? I’ll tell you, a life of luxury driving a 2001 civic, a secrete decoder ring, and a job worth $50,000!!!!”
