Pows on Parade
cast your mind back to 1991, Nicol & Peters wrote Tornado Down, Andy McNab wrote Bravo Two Zero, both books contain long and detailed descriptions of treatments meted out by the Ba 'ath Party to the prisoners in the cells to get them to talk. The fly boys held out for 24 hours before telling who they were. The regiment gang lasted eight days before starting to release information. Interestingly, according to Peters, the "interogators" were happy with simple info that could have come from anyone following the press reports or in possession of Jane's military aircraft of the world. Nonetheless, one now assumes the POWs are now having a pretty uncomfortable time of it in the cells.
