I think what's missing in this debate is that torture is being portrayed as discrete; i.e., all or none. We would be better served, IMO, to view torture as a continuum, and that what we (USA) did was at the extreme lower end of that continuum (and was justified, again IMO). What's also missing is that torture is not defined according to personal feelings, but by law. Waterboarding is not torture. This is a legal statement of fact. If Congress wants to define it as torture they must pass a law. What Obama is attempting to do is criminalize the legal opinions of the previous administration, an unprecedented action.
