Captives who refused to cooperate were sometimes kept standing or kneeling for hours, in black hoods or spray-painted goggles, the Post said, citing intelligence specialists said to be familiar with CIA interrogation methods.

That's paragraph 3 and the comments I was referring to. Doesn't sound like torture to me (darn it!). Most Americans reading this will either laugh at the Posts's feeble attempts to discredit our "inhumane" methods or, like me, feel disappointment we aren't being more aggressive.

That's paragraph 3 and the comments I was referring to.Yes, you're correct.

The Ha'aretz article does say that, but the Post article - which Ha'aretz cites as its source - says nothing of the kind.

The ComPost's full discussion of this issue reads "At times they are held in awkward, painful positions..."

Of course its entirely up to the imagination what "awkward, painful positions" might be, and apparently Ha'aretz has taken that to mean "Captives who refused to cooperate were sometimes kept standing or kneeling for hours, in black hoods or spray-painted goggles," which the ComPost does not say.

But that is the entire point of this ambiguous hack job, to deceive and mislead its readers.
