An Amnesty International-produced video produced as a sort of anti-torture propaganda.

Warning: while there is no explicit violence here, there's a lot of evidence of physical pain...which, if Amnesty International is to be believed, is not faked (that is, they actually got someone to hold that position for 6 hours).

I'd already decided that the hypothetical benefits of torture was not worth the cost (to our reputation or to our honor)...but this really drives home the anguish that involved in something as innocuous-sounding as a "stress position".
