Torture?

The military reviewed interrogation tactics at Gitmo and claim there was no torture. Many - including Andrew Sullivan - disagree and site these facts as evidence:

* interrogators "brought a military working dog into the interrogation room and directed it to growl, bark and show teeth"
* some prisoners were restrained with "hand restraints connected directly to an eyebolt in the floor"
* one interrogator "tied a leash to hand chains, led [the detainee] around the room through a series of dog tricks."
* a prisoner was pinned down while a female interrogator straddled him
* a prisoner was told he was gay and forced to dance with another male
* one prisoner had his entire head duct-taped because he refused to stop "chanting passages from the Koran;" one had his Koran removed; another had an interrogator squat over his Koran on a table, while interrogating him.

If this is torture, then my Delta Kappa Epsilon brothers are torturers. What would these people think of 18-year-old freshman forced to participate in sheep dung duals at Shakertown?
