They just got a different tool to use than we do: They kill innocent lives to achieve objectives. That's what they do. And they're good. They get on the TV screens and they get people to ask questions about, well, you know, this, that or the other. I mean, they're able to kind of say to people: Don't come and bother us, because we will kill you. Bush - Joint News Conference with Blair - 28 July '06

"We will eradicate Spies"


"We will eradicate spies and Diversionists, Agents of the Trokyite - Bukharinite Fascists!"

NKVD poster 1937

The NKVD broke prisoners down by intense interrogation. This included the threat to arrest and execute members of the prisoner's family if they did not confess. The interrogation went on for several days and nights and eventually they(the prisoners) became so exhausted and disoriented that they signed confessions agreeing that they had been attempting to overthrow the government.
