'Ducking' is a method of obtaining confessions
and has been oulawed as 'a form of unusual
punishment', at least in the FCT areas.
There have been rumored uses of 'ducking'
to obtain information during the LLAR wars,
mostly with units involved in the Amazon river
areas, some claim these are just 'fish tales'.
Besides, we use American English!!!
Bye for now,
