How about 14 years old swept up because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time....and held for 5 years or more with no evidence that they were engaged in terrorists activities?
And torture is still illegal under US law and treaty obligations. A unilateral presidential declaration calling it "enhanced interrogation techniques" doesn't change that.
