"The Guantanamo Guidebook"
From myway.com:
A British television station plans to air "The Guantanamo Guidebook," a program that recreates some alleged techniques used at the U.S. prison camp for terrorist suspects.
Two people vomited, two wet their pants, another suffered signs of hypothermia - all for the cameras - after volunteering to spend 48 hours locked up in cages and subjected to sexual humiliation, forced nudity and sleep deprivation allegedly like prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.
Channel 4 says it wants to make the public aware of such abuses, but a human rights group said Wednesday the program violates U.N. conventions banning torture and shouldn't be shown.

But if it's a recreation ... which implies voluntary action, right? ... why would the U.N. need to get involved?
That's a good question -- I think it is because it simulates torture (and may not only simulate, it actaully shows torture) -- it would be interesting to see the program...
