Original story reported back in May by Reuters:

Now it's being reported that this a perfectly valid form of:

"In one of the first military commissions held under the Obama administration, a US military judge has ruled that confessions obtained by threatening the subject with rape are admissible in court."

There's also a leaked cable that lists rape threats as one of the methods "Cuban Police" use to coerce CMPP applicants of something called a "US Embassy issued YY visa foil."

So this is yet another "do as I say, not as I do" situation.
