Memos Reveal Torture

U.S. memos released today show torture methods approved by the Bush Administration and used by the CIA including...

plastic neck collar to repeatedly slam a prisoner into a wall, confining a suspect in a box with insects, keeping detainees naked, and standing in painful positions.  The memos also approve slapping, sleep deprivation, and waterboarding - a technique that simulates drowning.
