Sounds like a frat initiation.

Yes, I agree. My beef is that, having OK'd these "tortures", they let the

You don't mind that these "frat initiation" type procedures killed
number of prisoners?

It's not unknown for hazing to be fatal, but not dozens at one time &
place. And usually a murder prosecution follows.

My beef is that the current group in power have arrogated to themselves
the right to kill or imprison anybody they want, for any reason or no
reason, and use torture. That's generally not accepted among civilized
nations as the way "good guys" behave.
