Conservative Andrew Sullivan not only makes the allegation but also makes a case on why history will view President Bush as a 'war criminal'.
We know this because the very same techniques - hypothermia, long-time standing, beating - and even the very same term "enhanced interrogation techniques" - " verschaerfte Vernehmung" in the original German - were once prosecuted by American forces as war crimes. The perpetrators were the Gestapo. The penalty was death. You can verify the history here.
The Weekly Standard accuses Sullivan of trivialising 'real torture'.
