This stuff barely qualifies as torture. I consider torture to be anything that causes physical bodily damage or draws blood. The stuff they do - water boarding, sleep deprivation, etc. - is used in military training. Heck, even ask a hospital intern about sleep deprivation. The thing to keep in mind is that torture, as lame as the current interpretation is, is not used against US citizens, but against our enemies. And yes, they are our enemies, who believe that there are no innocent people among us. The officials who ordered and approved these measures did so out of concern for US security and for protection of its citizens.
