In News Conferences spokesmen for the DOD admitted that prisoners at
Guatanomo Bay were being subjected to sleep deprivation and forced
into 'uncompfortable positions' for long periods of time. In the
same statements the same spokemen denied they were being tortured.


Not by accepted definitions of torture.


Accepted by whom?

Why, the USA, for one. The UN, apparently, for another. The World Court, or
whatever the hell they call trhemselves, for another. Unless you an show
where they have filed a protest.
