Have you seen this?:

Torture of detainees at Guantanamo Bay has been systematic, extensive and a matter of deliberate policy, says a report originally prepared in 2007 by the International Committee of the Red Cross. Obtained by journalist Mark Danner, the report, which detailed the complicity of medical personnel in the mistreatment of detainees, has been posted online (PDF) by the New York Review of Books.

Techniques practiced at Guantanamo and elsewhere on the 14 detainees examined in the 41-page report include suffocation by water, prolonged standing with arms chained above their heads, beatings, confinement in a box, sleep deprivation and other tactics that involve both physical and psychological abuse. While written in somewhat technical terms, the report emphasizes that the detainees’ treatment “amounted to torture and/or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.”

At best it’s a cover story. At worst it’s lies by the Left.

My trusted friend has been inside those specific interrogations at Gitmo, and pleasure drugs+tactics were used exclusively.

Never pain.
