Today's Guardian contains a handy, dandy primer from Jon Henley on the euphemisms currently in use in the torture debate.
Stress position Detainee is forced to stand erect for several hours. Or forced to stand erect for several hours, with his arms held out to the side. Or shackled to the ceiling with his arms extended, sometimes without his feet touching the ground. Whichever, it's certainly stressful.
Note: Faux News viewers will find the meaning of "euphemisms" here.
