Sounds like torture, bloody torture to me. The same kind of torture that had the world turn its nose up in disgust at 'those countries' - China, Iraq, Iran, Hamas,North Korea, Russia etc. etc.
I recently saw a Daily Show report that the US has decided not to investigate or prosecute anyone for Bush Era torture or methods. "At some point his captors briefly removed the bag. He was ordered to lie on his side and keep his eyes fixed to the wall inches from his face. It hurt to breathe. He tucked his head in and snuck a glance at his chest: It was black with bruises.
