We would probably have to agree on what is "torture". The pictures I've seen from Abu-Ghraib strike me as close to torture, but not over the line. Without question, they are humiliating tactics and have no place in how any civilization should treat common criminals and prisoners of war.
However, I don't condone any physical abuse to secure information. We just have to work harder and find another way.
