Of course, since everything they've done, including the infamous
waterboarding, has been done to US Servicepeople for years as part of their
training, little they've done (at least with offical approval) has been
"cruel, inhuman, and degrading." Well, we can take issue with the
term degrading, but prison itself is degrading so that's pretty much a non
sequitor.
