Any bad treatment which is intended to get information out of people, or soften them up so that they will talk, is torture.

I note that the guy they have put in charge of Abu Ghraib, who was previously in charge of Guantanamo Bay, has said that he thinks that stuff like sleep deprivation, and a range of other "interrogation techniques", are fine by him. Well he would, wouldn't he?

So I'd not be too hopeful about an end to torture. But there probably won't be many more photos coming out, so that should make life a lot easier for the people up the line.
