what tactics? the use of dogs, are you saying that Rumsfeld/Sanchez should have banned the use of dogs? sleep deprivation, we have to make sure the prisoners get 8 hours of restful sleep now?
You are accepting the media definition of "torture". I'm not.
The humilation tactics - the photos of the human pyramids, the dog leashes, the panties on the head, although they don't rise to the level of torture in my mind, should not have occured simply as a matter of military discipline and maturity, which those soldiers did not uphold.
I don't recall Bush every apologizing for prisoner "torture", just their "treatment". there is a big difference, but the media wants to morph that all into one.
I looked at the photo of the crowd behind Mr. Berg just before they chopped off his head and it sure looked like they all had sacks on their heads.
I suspect Arabs are not at all distressed with the sack deal.
BTW, the way to torture a "postie" is to cut off his dope. See Richard Cohen for a character reference on that one.
