Is this "torture as it's generally understood"?

breakingnews.nypost.com

And back to your post:

Again: Every item in the list of "torture as it's generally understood" you provided is included in the tortures in which we Americans have engaged, according to the evidence. Substitute "rope" and "fork lift" for ceiling. Substitute "stun guns" for electricity.

I wonder, Nadine, if you are in denial mode because of defensiveness about the torture engaged in by Israel. It occurs to me that you will certainly defend those, and so are in a position where if you don't justify and trivialize violations of the Geneva Conventions by the US, it might represent for you an exercise in cognitive dissonance.
