There's a book called Bravo Two Zero written by a SAS officer that details his torture in Iraq in 1991. If you want to know what torture is, you need to read this book. Over a two week period this guy had his teeth bashed out one at a time by a rifle butt. And that was the start of his worries.

False. He said that is what happened. There was no evidence of that and the Red Cross examined him and said that it didn't happen.
"According to McNab, the four captured patrol members (McNab, Pring, MacGown and the wounded Coburn) were moved numerous times, enduring torture and interrogation at each successive location.[90] According to MacGown however, "incidents such as teeth extraction and burning with a heated spoon did not happen. It is inconceivable that any such incidents could have occurred without them being discussed or being physically obvious."[91] News footage of MacGown and Pring taken at the time of their release on March 5, showed no evidence of any facial injuries and the members were described as 'in good shape' by a Red Cross representative.[13]"
