British soldiers have “lost their capability” to interrogate terrorist insurgents because of strict new rules on questioning that even ban shouting in captives’ ears, military chiefs have warned.

The rules — detailed in court papers obtained by The Telegraph — also prevent military intelligence officers from banging their fists on tables or walls, or using “insulting words” when interrogating a suspect.

The regulations replaced a previous policy that had to be withdrawn after a series of legal challenges and the death in custody of Baha Mousa, an Iraqi detainee in Basra.

But there is growing disquiet within the ranks that the latest guidelines, officially called Challenge Direct, are so stringent that it makes interrogation pointless.

There is also concern that the rules can be so easily breached — especially given the pressure under which soldiers are operating — that military personnel will be left exposed to legal claims and possible disciplinary action.

And, you have to suppose that those who are so concerned about the feelings of the bad guys are telling themselves that when the Caliphate or Al Qaeda captures a Western soldier that they'll make sure they don't upset him by yelling at them.

Right?

They don't yell at you... They just saw your head off and listen to you yell...

And that is why the enemy will win


They will not win but a lot of people will have to die because of crazy liberal leftists and there ideas. Another building coming down or a chemical attack in a city killing thousands will shut these idiots up from saying things like torture is not who we are.
