Physically violent, abusive, torture along the lines of Abu Ghraib is disturbing I agree; on the other hand injecting a prisoner with Sodium Pentothal to extract extremely accurate information does not fit the outright description of torture to me.

As a side note, I reacall from my last surgery Sodium Pentothal was actually a pretty good buzz until the lights went out. If I were being interrogated I don't think I would have a problem with that.
