This is at the end of that MSNBC story:
Meantime, a lawyer representing suspected al-Qaida members held in Morocco was quoted as saying on Sunday his clients had been tortured into giving false confessions on planning anti-Western attacks.
Tawfiq Msaef also told the London-based Asharq al-Awsat newspaper that three Saudis among the seven suspects told police they had suspended ties with Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida group in 2001.
"All of them were subjected to various forms of physical torture, verbal abuse, including cursing and the removal of women's veils, and extortion to force them to confess," the daily quoted Msaef as saying.
Note the terrible forms of torture in the last paragraph. What's next? Making them stand in the corner or go to bed without supper?
Of course I'm anti-torture, mostly because it generally induces the captives to lie, but how is "the removal of women's veils" really any kind of torture, even to Muslims?
