Continuing on in regards Bally Kinnler tour. I remember that they had this Paddy who they believed held vital information and so they put him through the wringer so to speak,basically they tried everything to make him crack and divulge what they wanted to know. This Paddy was a real nasty piece of work,a real hard case. They tried all methods to break him down. Sleep deprivation, disorientation, good guy,bad guy treatment. Left him for long periods of time in the stress position just to weaken his resolve to no effect! Contrary to popular belief by the gutter press and media we never resulted to physical torture in any shape or form. The interrogators were running out of ideas so they brought in some officer from Lurgan who would employ a different strategy to crack this hard nut!...He came in and saw this Paddy in the stress position and asked him whether he was tired! The Paddy replied in the affirmative that he was! So this guy details us to go to the stores and get a bed and mattress etc...and bring them back to where Paddy was located. We thought that this guy had lost the plot! But orders being orders we did what we were told! Anyway he lets this bastard get his head down and even switches off the light and orders us out of the room! Whereupon he gets out the fags and offers them around to us. I noticed that he kept on looking at his watch!...We must have been out of there for about twenty minutes Then all hell breaks loose as he returns back into the room and promptly disposes Paddy out of bed and back into the stress position against the wall. Paddy going to sleep had switched off and his guard had been lowered and diminished completely. His vulnability had finally proved his downfall! He told them everything they wanted to know after that! One of the lads said to me afterwards that he could not have taken all that physcological pressure that we had inflicted on this Paddy. I had to remind him that we were fighting a rather unconventional war. And that the means justified the ends!........If these methods saved lives then what the hell!....
