Gitmo Torture Methods

According to this story, a bipartisan group of senators have declared that conditions at Gitmo have improved since a few years ago. During their visit, they witnessed a female interrogater attempt to wear down a detainee by reading Harry Potter aloud for hours. Seeing that budget cuts have forced He-who-must-not-be-named's terrorists cells to replace occlumency with an extra period of Monkey Bars, the Ministry of Magic has offered to donate Veritaserum to help US interrogaters.

But seriously, I'm wondering if there is anything specific about Harry Potter that makes it repulsive to detainees, and if torture allegations would be slung if interrogaters chose instead to read either "The Catcher in the Rye" (as comic book guy would say, "worst. book. ever.") or any collection of short stories by David Sedaris.
