In News Conferences spokesmen for the DOD admitted that prisoners at
Guatanomo Bay were being subjected to sleep deprivation and forced
into 'uncompfortable positions' for long periods of time. In the
same statements the same spokemen denied they were being tortured.

Not by accepted definitions of torture.

Physical torture doesn't give reliable information anyway.
People will tell you anything to stop the pain.

However, psychological techniques do work very well, though
slower.

You make a good argument. But can you show evidence to support it?

Before you throw up your hands in horror, what if you
reasonably believe that you can save many lives by this process,
which does no physical harm?


If so, you have a criminal attitude.
