The way you phrased this made me curious, so I looked it up. I don't know if it was your intention, but the way you phrased it made it sound like they were preforming medical procedures, possibly heinous medical procedures. In fact, the experiments were collecting data[0]:
"...and crossed the line into human experimentation by collecting and analyzing data that were then used to refine harsh interrogation techniques, including sleep deprivation and waterboarding..."
Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with it, but I had visions of people having limbs attached to them, superhuman drugs injected into them, and death left and right, like some kind of V for Vendetta shit. This does not seem to be the case.
