The United States acted, she said, in accordance with its legal obligations, among which is the 1984 UN "Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment.

This defines torture as follows: "Torture means any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind..."

If you can get your hands on it, then get these videos. I've seen "Torture: The Guantanamo Guidebook" which was repulsive enough. Even a volunteer in a London warehouse could be made to piss himself during his 'captivity'. Not a nice sight.
