'The Beef Stew' was a military torture tactic adopted in 1972. This method is similar to water boarding, though, instead of using
water- the torturer squats over the suspect and explosively defecates all over the suspects
face.
To optimize the technique, the torturer often eats a meal heavy in
grease, and then takes some laxatives to increase the projectile velocity of the defecation.
Due to it'
s grotesque nature, this method was banned in 1993 and deemed an "Inhumane form of torture".
