US torture has killed at least 100 detainees

Glenn Greenwald has a good post on what US torture really is. He says that it is not confined to a few cases and that it is not merely incommodating detainees, as it has killed at least 100 detainees:
"The interrogation and detention regime implemented by the U.S. resulted in the deaths of over 100 detainees in U.S. custody -- at least. While some of those deaths were the result of "rogue" interrogators and agents, many were caused by the methods authorized at the highest levels of the Bush White House, including extreme stress positions, hypothermia, sleep deprivation and others. "
