"General Pace, if you were shown a video of a United States Marine or an American citizen in the control of a foreign power, in a cell block, naked with a bag over their head, squatting with their arms uplifted for 45 minutes, would you describe that as a good interrogation technique or a violation of the Geneva Convention?" -- Democratic Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island.

"I would describe it as a violation, sir." -- General Peter Pace
