This is Torture?

From CNN:

The U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay is drawing fresh criticism following a magazine report on a logbook tracing the treatment of a detainee who officials believe was intended to take part in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Time magazine said the interrogation techniques included "standing for prolonged periods, isolation for as long as 30 days, [and] removal of clothing."

They have a name for this: it's called fraternity hazing.

Let's test out the torture theory: we'll get the blogger to stand for 12 hours, naked. We'll all be in the room with him and see how it goes. Does pointing and laughing at his genitalia count as humiliation, or just free speech?
