In Northern Ireland a firm favorite was to fly two or three suspects up in a helicopter until they could see they were at a reasonable height over one of the lochs, blindfold them and sit them at the cargo door with their legs out on the skid. Then after a bit more flying questions would be asked. Now these boys were tough SOB, they were nervous but weren't exactly going to let on without a fight for one thing they had rights and all that tosh.....so they just needed a prod as it were! Anyway after a couple of questions and not much information one would be ditched out the door with all the resulting screaming etc. etc. ...... after which they couldn't speak fast enough and when they were finished they were ditched out the door too!..........about 2 ft off the ground.......apart from a change of underwear they were cool.But the best thing was they'd never admit what had happened or they mates would have been less than happy with them...... kneecapping was the favoured non-lethal punishment for talking to the security forces and with the IRA non-lethal was not common.Anyway...... I think from memory the best methods were used by the North Vietnamese on the ECM officers that used to fly the back seats of the F100s, they basically took them to isolated places way from any other human contact the interrogator bonded with the officers until there was a raport going and then used hope and fear to get the information out of them. These methods were refined as time went on by the Russians and the North Vietnamese but were apparently successful.
