Whether "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques" are "Torture" or are "Not Torture" is a matter of semantics and is really irrelevant. Whatever "they" are, they are legal under U.S. laws which is why no one has been prosecuted under the Obama administration.
Whether EITs are effective or not is an age old debate going back to the dawn of time, no one really knows, but the practical question always comes back to whether you use every tool available to you or not.
