I found http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/torture/themes/redefining.html not long ago - shared it with a friend, they said "disgusting." Finally it comes out exactly how the Bush administration found it possible to say that inducing hypothermia is a perfectly legal form of interrogation. Disgusting!

I find it interesting that in this specific instance the Federal government argues that the Constitution takes precedent over the Convention Against Torture treaty but when it comes to the Convention on Psychotropic Substances the constitution looses according to Missouri v. Holland which found that "the treaties clause of the Constitution (Article VI, clause 2), sometimes known as the "supremacy clause," makes treaties the "supreme law of the land", co-equal in status to the Constitution itself." and that the Constitution already prohibits what Bush did through the Eighth Amendment which reads "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted." Show me where that applies only to American Citizens and I'll give you a cookie.
