Welcome to the Reality Distortion Zone™
I occasionally hear snippets of conversation about how the United States isn't actually torturing people, it's just humiliating them.
This would come as a great surprise to the 25 or so people who've been tortured to death by the United States (in Iraq; I don't know how many people have been tortured to death elsewhere in the New Model Gulag). This would come as a great surprise to the people who've been waterboarded (which is a polite way to say "tie someone to a bed and drop it into water"). This would come as a great surprise to the people who've been raped, or doused with water and left outside in the freezing cold, or had dogs set on them.
I guess it must be a blessing to be free of the ravages of intelligence. I just wish they wouldn't be so blatant about it.

Lots of charges, where's your proof or links to proof?
There's a spiffy web invention called a search engine that will let you look up details like this all by yourself.
I, like our host, am a believer in getting off your ass and doing some work for yourself, but why not start at http://www.hrw.org/? Oh, and http://www.amnestyusa.org/ isn't bad either. Have fun.
