What you call "state-sponsored torture" was analyzed a few months ago...

Am I alone in thinking that half-drowning suspects, leaving them naked
in cold weather - putting them in metal boxes in Summer tropical
weather, procuring prolongued sleep deprivation, to name just the
first four reported abuses that came to mind, * * is not to be called
'torture"?
*Even the Nazis allowed (admittedly patchy) Red Cross prisoner
visitations, in WW11
