don't you think that forcing someone to stay standing and awake for eleven days in a row would cause extreme mental distress? really?

I don't think we've come up with a decent definition of torture. As for methods, speaking of 'full disclosure', I just was looking at the Obama eo on torture:

Executive order: Interrogation - USATODAY.com

With this little clause, Obama really changed nothing it's what was done regarding Justice & the CIA memo:

Section 3:

c) Interpretations of Common Article 3 and the Army Field Manual. From this day forward, unless the Attorney General with appropriate consultation provides further guidance, officers, employees, and other agents of the United States Government may, in conducting interrogations, act in reliance upon Army Field Manual 2 22.3, but may not, in conducting interrogations, rely upon any interpretation of the law governing interrogation — including interpretations of Federal criminal laws, the Convention Against Torture, Common Article 3, Army Field Manual 2 22.3, and its predecessor document, Army Field Manual 34 52 issued by the Department of Justice between September 11, 2001, and January 20, 2009.

If she broke any laws, I think she should be prosecuted. I think that for anyone of any party. As I said, I am not certain whether merely KNOWING about an illegal activity is itself illegal but would be perfectly willing to have the courts decide that.

The term is aiding and abetting, and yes it's a crime.
