"Minor discomfort"? I suppose that's fact based, but unless you're comparing it to the beheadings that al qaeda use on their prisoners, it seems more than minor. and I don't think you really want to use al qaeda as your baseline.
But spanky has a point--is the treatment actually serving a purpose? Because torture to obtain useful information is morally ambiguous. torture "just because" is not.
