US USE OF TORTURE THOROUGHLY DOCUMENTED

According to Naomi Klein, US government sanctioned torture has been standard operating procedure for many years and is thoroughly documented:

It's a history that has been exhaustively documented in an avalanche of books, declassified documents, CIA training manuals, court records and truth commissions.

With all of this evidence floating around the best substantiation Klein offers is an unpublished book:

In his upcoming book A Question of Torture, Alfred McCoy synthesizes this unwieldy cache of evidence, producing an indispensable and riveting account of how monstrous CIA-funded experiments on psychiatric patients and prisoners in the 1950s turned into a template for what he calls "no-touch torture," based on sensory deprivation and self-inflicted pain. McCoy traces how these methods were field-tested by CIA agents in Vietnam as part of the Phoenix program and then imported to Latin America and Asia under the guise of police training programs.

"No-touch torture" is nothing new: women employ it to devastating effect. Speaking of women, where's the fake menstrual blood stuff?
