>> If the perps were ISIS, and the victims American troops, you would call it torture.

I would call it whatever I knew it to be.

It is very doubtful ISIS would exercise the kind of caution the CIA did in interrogating its terrorist detainees. These are people who received better medical care than the interrogators who were interrogating them. They were well fed; even when being subjected to EIT they were given facilities for their all-important religious consideration; Zubadah's life was saved by the Americans holding him.

I just don't consider it torture. I understand that persons who are misinformed see it otherwise and I can't change that. These people were not pussies and had to be subjected to difficult interrogations to get the information necessary to protect the American public.

One of Obama's worst mistakes has been to just start killing these people instead of interrogating them.
