The waterboarding the detainees experience is used on specific individuals to gain specific information.

In what realm does slamming someone against a wall 20 or 30 times not constitute an intent to cause extreme pain, i.e. torture? It's all okay if you think the guy knows something you want to know? Why do it in the first place? Just because you say you're only doing it to shock and alarm someone into talking doesn't make it so. The same could be said about kicking a guy in the jewels.
