1. You need to add Sleep deprivation, dowsing with ice water and the use of Attack dogs

2. Unless it's all been shredded, it should exist
in some form or the other. Emails, memos, minutes of meetings are good places to start.

3. The Abu Ghraib photos cover a couple of those.
I have a feeling that most of the paperwork in relation to this has had a meeting with a match.

4. A more complete list.
Unless documents that are verifiable & official are found then no one can be charged with War Crimes regarding Torture. I hope even one is discovered.


Torture:

Water boarding

Extreme stress positioning

Beatings

Beating the bottom of feet with bamboo rod

Extreme cold in cell

Extreme heat in cell

Smothering with blanket & sitting on chest

Ice water poured over the body

Attack by a dog

6. You will never find a document that explicity endorses torture.
Every document will be worded precisely to avoid exactly what you are talking about, or they will be destroyed.
