On the meaning of words

A Palestinian doctor who was released from Libyan custody along with a group of Bulgarian nurses is claiming that he was tortured by Gadafy's security forces. I hate to contradict Dr. al-Hazouz and whilst there was a time when Libya was a pariah state and such treatment would indeed have been torture now that the North African country is no longer a member of the "Axis of Evil" these methods are now known as "enhanced interrogation techniques". Any questions?
