While 4 days in a cell without water, food or toilet is excessive, this is a healthy 23 year old and he was not beaten, tortured or denigrated in any way by his captors.

You must lead a rough life; In my world, being deprived of food and water for four days is certainly torture, and being forced to drink your own urine is certainly denigrating. And I have been on both ends of military survival training, so I think I can speak from personal experience.

Same here.

The problem here on my part, and freely admitted is I am trying to find the relevance when looking at people like Gilad Shalit and Daniel Pearl who were beaten within an inch of their lives, starved, deprived of water and in the case of Pearl, decapitated as what torture is.

This was depraved indifference on the part of the DEA and yes, justice for this aggregious crime against a citizen of the US should be handed out to the idiots who did this.
