Yet for some reason, most the US media keeps using the word being peddled by the White House.

It was NOT torture. It was wrong, idiotic, abuse, shameful; etc.

Torture is what happened when Saddan Hussein was in charge, Saddam had rape rooms, and forced parents to watc children's eyes be gouged out, sentenced a 10 year old boy to prison for years because he refused to join the Baathist regime.

Are you aware the media knew about this shameful incident in January when it happened, and the military chain of command started an investigation ONE day after they became aware of the incident. The media sat on this story for three months until they had pictures to shock the nations conscience.
