At least they acknowledge that this is pointless torture with no redeeming medical value at all. Now how about holding those responsible to account?

I rather imagine the list of things you can force up a detainee’s anus without it being torture is rather short. The word “force” is the biggest clue.

And even actual force feeding is banned by the United Nations Convention Against Torture.

And the Senate ratified it too.
