→Rap is not torture: What are you talking about? I was referring to Eminem
:We can conclude, the source of the quote, "They would not let you rest, day or night. Stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down. Don't sleep. Don't lie on the floor," came from a prisoner whom ''ABC News'' describes as one of several "escaped prisoners from one CIA prison in Afghanistan." [http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/print?id=1322866] This assertion by ''ABC News'' itself raises several extremely problematic concerns that need to be addressed which will be expanded upon if necessary. Most importantly, this quote '''is the only''' direct evidence coming from an alleged eyewitness to torture in that entire news article. Serious questions remain about all of ''ABC News's'' anonymous sources, the credibility of several of these sources, the methods and motivations of ''ABC News'' in publishing highly questionable material of this nature which appears intended to inflame passions, and ultimately ''ABC News's'' own credibility if they cannot answer some of these questions.

::Are you arguing that because this is a direct quote it deserves to be mentioned as "By far [a] most commonly reported method of torture...?" That is lame. There are many different methods used, yet you have chosen to cite this one example. I can't conclude (from that chunk of writing above) why Eminem '''''must''''' be in the list. That's all. Just say, Eminem should be in there because I don't like him, or whatever, and we'll move on. I see that this is a direct quote, but there are many on this topic.
