I don't think there is universal agreement on torture.

Some are throwing the term around a little too freely IMO.

Here's the torture the official described in specifics:

Crawford, who studied interrogation and other military records, said al-Qahtani was forced to stand naked in front of a female agent, threatened with a military dog named Zeus, "forced to wear a woman's bra and had a thong placed on his head" during questioning, and "was told that his mother and sister were whores," the newspaper reported.

Looks like insults (I've far worse doled out here), intimidation, and embarrassment. I don't consider these measures "torture".
