Illustrations

The New York Times published an article that incorporated several of a Guantanamo inmate's drawings of some of the tortures to which he was subjected.^[1] Some one or more of these illustrations would be a valuable addition to the article.

A good example from the article may be found here.

I do not want to go to the trouble of determining that Wikipedia-legality of adding such an illustration and learning the method of doing so, but perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I might go about this. Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 01:39, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As a euphemism

I am given to understand that the phrase "enhanced interrogation techniques" is also a euphemism for torture used by the Nazi regime in the 1930s and 1940s. The English language version of this euphemism is treated well here, but should there be a section on the German-language use of the same phrase to describe prior torture? Mccartneyac (talk) 21:43, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Although the article does mention Nazi-era torture under "Verschärfte Vernehmung", I agree there's potential for greater coverage outside of Andrew Sullivan's column. There is an article on the German wiki de:Verschärfte Vernehmung that could be used as a basis for expansion.-Ich (talk) 11:10, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
