I think what those very few Americans did was out of line with our expectations of proper behavior. However, was it so out of control as to warrant a national apology? No it doesn't. Cases like this are far more common in domestic prisons and are accepted.
Of course I don't condone treating anyone in such a manner. But to use the word torture to describe the events that took place is just media hype.

Typical western approach, their culture is not the same, and homosexual acts and other shaming including being naked in front of women is totally different, some arabs will not even shake a womans hand, it's a total different to what YOU would feel.
