How do you know it's just that? Would the CIA or whatever US military/private military/ally admit if it was using physical torture? IMO this is like them saying "Ok we torture but not physically". Excuse me but I don't believe it stays there. The 'extraordinary renditions' etc. that they used talk of a much larger system at work with flights going around the world, even in Scandinavia with people ending up who knows where. Places where there are no journalists or lawyers. Yea you're right, it's not like the nazis. The nazis never had a global transportation system for torture and, who knows, probably killing as well.
I don't believe the Americans at all in this issue and they are supposed to be kinda like our military allies in the world right now, or something.
Edit. And to call mental torture "harmless"? Well, that kinda sums the mentality according to which torture is acceptable.
