You can throw "lawyering" and "parse" around all you want, but they don't change the fact that you've had to change positions several times and you're still putting fourth a position that you are having serious trouble defending. Eventually you'll be back at "torture is a part of life" (paraphrasing), which is where you started, but even that position is weak.
You don't actually believe that torture is fine, you just were trying to make yourself feel unattached to what your and my government is doing. I can't say I blame you, it's shameful what we've done.
