The biggest problem I see with this is that it gives no standards as to what is "torture".

I consider torture to be at minimum something that causes massive amounts of pain and some blood loss.

Is cranking up the ac or the heat torture? Not according to me but according to some nitwits yes.

Does this mean that the chairs in the interrogation rooms will no longs have one leg shorter. What about bathroom breaks? One very favorite tactic is to offer detainees plenty to drink and then keep them waiting for permission to use the bathroom until they are ready to pee their pants.

Is this degrading? Sure. Is it torture? Nah! If it is we are going to have to haul in half the school teachers in the country.
