You guys...
No, we're fairly tame here- no car batteries attached to genitals or blood. Mostly sleep deprivation, solitary confinement, exposure that sort of thing. And a whole heap of chemicals. Before we became a democracy, we used to jab IV tubes in people's arms, give them a catheter and scuba mask and seal them in 2x1x1 metre glass tanks of 10 degrees water for a week on end. The IV tube was used to deliver psychedelic drugs.

That really seems like a breach of confidentiality, does it not? "Civilized" nations tend not to do that. Don't do that.
Of course, USC also conducts enhanced interrogation. It's more with drugs, especially those that soften the area of the brain that tells truth from lies, but it happens. It's nasty, but necessary. No water boarding though.
Ah well. I'll be waiting with some "neither confirm nor deny" sort of statement.
And Connor, we don't do waterboarding. Too crude by far. Instead, we use muscle relaxants to induce suffocation and cardiac arrest, inject them with barbiturates to loosen them up for interrogation then revive them. Quite effective, especially since there's not much long term damage and we can keep going as long as we like. ("Truth serums" don't actually make people tell the truth by the way, more's the pity.)
