The pirates weren't disarmed and in captivity when they were shot so I don't see how it's relevant to a debate about torture.

Not on this we don't. You can't shoot someone in the back of the head when we've got him in captivity. Not even Alberto Gonzales could get you out of a murder charge for that one. You're trying to make waterboarding sound better by comparing it to executing someone by shooting him in the back of the head. Don't be silly.

PSST... LQQK... If we've prosecuted someone for doing something that we considered torture in the past, that is now torture. Remember? No inconsistency whatsoever. Total consistency.
