Whether "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques" are "Torture" or are "Not Torture" is a matter of semantics and is really irrelevant.
Not once people claim it is not or claim to have a definition.
Since that comes up in the OP and was the subject of the interview it cannot be irrelevant.

Whatever "they" are, they are legal under U.S. laws which is why no one has been prosecuted under the Obama administration.
No and no.
They were rescinded in 2009 on the basis that they were contrary to federal law banning torture.
The reason there were no prosecutions is because the administration decided not to prosecute people for following faulty government directives.
