"Sleep deprivation is not torture. It's a method of gaining needed information."
well, Doug...and how far would YOU go? The complaints were not about sleep deprivation. You seem to assume that every prisoner has the information you seek? How much "creative interrogation" is reasonable if the guy keeps saying "I don't KNOW the answer?" The reports on much of this seem to indicate that there were attempts to simply gain "confessions", not just information. Didn't John McCain report that this is how POWs in Viet Nam & Cambodia were treated? Abuse them until they say what you want, whther it has any relation to reality or not.
