TIME.com has excerpts from a secret GITMO interrogation log

Now that TIME has gotten their hands on a log that wasn't supposed to leave the base they have splashed it on their website. Now we will see if the Torture At Gitmo hysteria is worth.

Lets see what we can find, shall we?

"0225: The detainee arrives at the interrogation booth a Camp X-Ray. His hood is removed and he is bolted to the floor. SGT A and SGT R are the interrogators. A DoD linguist and MAJ L (BSCT) are present

0235: Session begins. The detainee refuses to look at SGT A "due to his religion. This is a rapport building session.

0240:Detainee states he's on hunger strike. SGT A explains the affects of a hunger strike on the body. SGT A runs "love of brothers in Cuba" approach. "

Sure sounds like torture right? Well lets read on...

"0320: The detainee refused to answer whether he wanted water. SGT R explained with emphasis that not answering disrespects SGT A and embarrasses him. The detainee said no, he didn't want water. The detainee continues to say he's on hunger strike.

0345: The detainee dozed off during a break. SGT R woke him up.

0355: SGT R wakes up detainee again. "

TORTURE!!!! How dare a guard wake up a prisoner?!?! Lets read on somemore and see what we find:

"0450: Interrogators take a break. Detainee goes to the bathroom

0520: Interrogations resumes. The detainee refuses food and water.

0540: SGT A begins 9/11 theme. The detainee asks to pray and is refused.

0550: Detainee drinks __ bottle of water and states after this he is on strike, he refuses food. "

Yeah this sure sounds like torture to me. How dare them try to get him to drink water and answer a question? Lets read on:

"1115: Interrogators began telling detainee how ungrateful and grumpy he was. In order to escalate the detainee's emotions, a mask was made from an MRE box with a smily face on it and placed on the detainee's head for a few moments. A latex glove was inflated and labeled the "sissy slap" glove. The glove was touched to the detainee's face periodically after explaining the terminology to him. The mask was placed back on the detainee's head. While wearing the mask, the team began dance instruction with the detainee. The detainee became agitated and began shouting."

Didn't the guards know? He wanted to do the Mamba, not the Waltz! Lets keep reading:

"1115: Detainee offered water, —refused. Corpsman changed ankle bandages to prevent chafing. Interrogater began by reminding the detainee about the lessons in respect and how the detainee had disrespected the interrogators. Told detainee that a dog is held in higher esteem because dogs know right from wrong and know how to protect innocent people from bad people [Good Point!- M.J.]. Began teaching the detainee lessons such as stay, come, and bark to elevate his social status up to that of a dog. Detainee became very agitated."

I'm sorry Glen Reynolds (Instapundit), but that deserves a "Heh" if anything does! Reading is fundamential so lets keep doing it:

"2223: As I began to inform the detainee of the changes the Saudi government has been making in order to support the efforts of peace and terror free world I began to engage closeness with the detainee [I really, really hope that this was a woman interigator. If not GITMO may have more wrong with it then the libs give it credit for!- M.J.]. This really evoked strong emotions within the detainee. He attempted to move away from me by all means. He was laid out on the floor so I straddled him without putting my weight on him. He would then attempt to move me off of him by bending his legs in order to lift me off but this failed because the MPs were holding his legs down with their hands. The detainee began to pray loudly but this did not stop me from finishing informing the detainee about the Al Qaeda member, Qaed Salim Sinan al Harethi aka Abu Ali, that was killed by the CIA."

Can I go to GITMO? Please, please, please! So long as the womans good looking of course...

Conculsion?

Not torture, not even close. Most guys would give their... ahem... to be in that position. Please, as if, not even close to torture.

But you watch and see. The Democrats will be all over this like ugly on Kerrys college picture.
