Sundance had this docu show on torture at Abu Ghraib prison. They got some volunteers to go thru the same torture prisoners at Abu Ghraib experienced. Most, if not all volunteers were for the torture BEFORE their experience. Most all changed their minds afterwards.
It was an interesting docu, but being naked in front of other prisoners or having the head shaved of hair seemed hardly like "torture". One volunteer gave up on the experiment only after bring threatened with being stripped naked in front of the other prisoners (volunteers).
And the guy shaving the head of one of the other "prisoners" was a shaved head himself. Did not look too terrible to me.
All I know on torture is, I can not even begin to imagine the torture those people on the four planes on 9/11/2001 were experiencing after the terrorist took over the plane then stabbing the pilot and some crew and passengers.
Most decent countries would treat prisoners according to the international rules. But when it comes to terrorist, they follow no rules. So is there a difference? I think so.
