"A forensic examiner found that he (the prisoner) had essentially been crucified; he died from asphyxiation after having been hung by his arms, in a hood, and suffering broken ribs," the magazine's Jane Mayer writes in the magazine's June 22nd issue. "Military pathologists classified the case a homicide."

I'm sorry but I feel this must be said first of all . . .Hate to be the sadist in the room but. . .
They do worse to themselves including sticking ones severed members in ones still breathing mouth in front of their families!!
We all want to believe we haven't succumb to terrorism but frankly they are completely blitzed crazy over there at times and it has worked, America is afraid of the mid east due because of deplorable acts of violence. so a little reciprocity is expected.

Oh please... America is far worse than the Middle East - just look at how it treats its prisoners and juvenile delinquents, for example.

wait a minute, folks. ASSUMING it's true that the guy was "hung from his arms" and suffocated, that is NOT "crucification".
Did they drive nails through his arms and feet? Did they drive a spear through his chest?
Calling it a "crucifiction" when it clearly is NOT one is propagandistic.

you may want to look up the definition of crucifixion before you go off like that seeing as the crucifixion in the bible is just one method and there are more than one type.
Look it up, you'll sound a lot smarter next time.

One way to discern who really runs a country is to look to see which individuals, if any, are above the law. In the Obama administration, like its predecessors, they include the employees of the CIA. Crucifixions they execute in the Middle East differ from those reported in the New Testament in at least one important respect: Jesus Christ had a trial.

"There is no question that U.S. interrogations have resulted in deaths," says Anthony Romero, executive director of the ACLU. "High-ranking officials who knew about the torture and sat on their hands and those who created and endorsed these policies must be held accountable. America must stop putting its head in the sand and deal with the torture scandal." At least scores of detainees in U.S. custody have died and homicide is suspected. As far back as May, 2004, the Pentagon conceded at least 37 deaths of prisoners in its custody in Iraq and Afghanistan had prompted investigations.
Nathaniel Raymond, of Physicians for Human Rights, told The New Yorker, “We still don’t know how many detainees were in the black sites, or who they were. We don’t fully know the White House’s role, or the C.I.A.’s role. We need a full accounting, especially as it relates to health professionals.”
Recently released Justice memos, he noted, contain numerous references to CIA medical personnel participating in coercive interrogation sessions. “They were the designers, the legitimizers, and the implementers,” Raymond said. “This is arguably the single greatest medical-ethics scandal in American history. We need answers.”

“No criminal charges have ever been brought against any C.I.A. officer involved in the torture program, despite the fact that at least three prisoners interrogated by agency personnel died as a result of mistreatment,” Mayer notes.
An earlier report, by John Hendren in The Los Angeles Times indicted other torture killings. And Human Rights First says nearly 100 detainees have died in U.S. custody in Iraq and Afghanistan.
