The story doesn't actually deliver what the headline promises; I saw "present when waterboarding was taking place" and "force-feeding of prisoners on hunger strike" but neither is a case of a doctor actually torturing someone.
I'm sure someone will jump down my throat for playing semantics, but most of the comments to date are reacting to the headline claiming torture-by-doctor rather than the actual findings.

Here is a document detailing what force-feeding is: http://www.aljazeera.com/humanrights/2013/05/201358152317954140.html http://www.aljazeera.com/humanrights/2013/05/201358152317954... It is not a pleasant thing.
- neves 13y agoNo. You are wrong. The doctors are present to oversee the torturing. They aren't there to take care of the tortured ones. They are there to tell how much someone can be tortured and not die. They are there to allow the maximum physical pain in the tortured ones. They are torturers too.
