Unless what was done in those cases was vastly more violent than what I imagine I wouldn't define that as torture either.

I know of 1 person who died as a result of bodyslams & chest blows, and another who died from exposure.

You might not think a stress position is torture, but what if it lasts several hours? And what if it is combined at the same time, with cold, nakedness, and/or loud music?
