WASHINGTON, D.C. — Army interrogators in Afghanistan have used “PowerPointing” 784 times on thirteen Taliban prisoners, according to the US Army’s Criminal Investigation Command.
In a report titled “For the Greater Good,” PowerPointing is defined as “forcing a subject to view a series of PowerPoint slideshow presentations to the point of exhaustion, thereby making it possible to gain answers or information from the subject.”
According to the report, interrogators used the technique to deal with uncooperative or belligerent prisoners.
