I’d be happy to give some examples of REAL torture that we could have engaged in. Far beyond having a dog bark at you, being put in the same cell with a caterpillar, being a bit hot or cold or being forced to listen to music.

Actually, if you can provide a workable legal definition of what constitutes torture, it would save everyone a whole lot of trouble. At the moment, politicians of all stripes have simply refused to take such a step, a situation that has contributed to the current state of uncertainty regarding who has done what, whether it was wrong or not or - in the current case being investigated by Holder - whether anyone broke rules that were already in place preventing certain practices.
