Regarding the note that it has been suggested that this article (Stress Positions) or section be merged into torture, I would prefer that it not be merged. Instead, I would like to see the "Stress Positions" page expanded with a list and description of the various stress positions, and details about frequency of usage, medical consequences, etc. The "Torture" page of course should mention stress positions, had have a link to the "Stress Positions" page, IMO.

"possibly amounting to torture" - POSSIBLY?!? For God's sakes, what about it is NOT torture?!? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.60.251.160 (talk) 14:20, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
→Agreed, the definition of torture is placing someone in extreme pain for whatever purpose. This clearly qualifies. 71.170.186.90 (talk) 03:52, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
Possibly amounting to?[edit]
The article reads "possibly amounting to torture", but isn't inflicting pain on someone intentionally against their will while they are restrained or coerced the definition of torture? 174.67.214.168 (talk) 10:07, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
- Of course, but Americans want to delude themselves that they aren't that evil. 2.100.33.56 (talk) 20:35, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
Why linking to "enhanced interrogation technique"?[edit]
What's the purpose of adding the link "enhanced interrogation technique" in parenthesis after torture? This doesn't add much information. It would be valuable to maybe add a section stating that "Stress positions were part of the so-called "enhanced interrogation techniques" used by US forces etc. etc." — maybe even as part of a much useful section about the use of stress position. The link alone, though, doesn't sound useful or natural here. What do you think? --Brandizzi (talk) 18:10, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
Source that the main image depicts a stress position?[edit]
How do we know that the image depicts a stress position? It depicts someone in distress, but it does not necessarily mean it is a stress position. The person seems to be just squatting regularly. Pinkslimo (talk) 07:54, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
