A little reminder of what the AlQaiduck do.
"Torture" also encompasses using mental unbalancing actions to break the prisoners will to resist.
You give hope, then take it away.
You don't even have to touch the guy, you just break down his mental resistance.
And that is termed "torture".
Just a little compare and contrast.

They figured out that suggesting to someone that they might be turned over to the Saudis, or the Egyptians, was enough to make some of them talk, so great was their fear of torture at their hands. Then someone decided that making someone think he might be tortured was torture, so they had to stop that practice.

OK, what makes our “torture” so heinous and horrible compared to Al Qaeda?
