Torture can be many different things.
1) no food to feed yourself and your family
2) no shelter, cover etc.
3) afflicting pain, physical or mental, to someone
4) forcing people to leave loved ones behind
5) forcing people to hurt someone else
etc etc etc
Basically I consider torture anything done to a living being (human or animal) which inflicts pain of any kind. Also torture can be if one is forced to do something which inflicts pain of any kind to someone else.

Torture is cruel and unusual punishment but to liberals it is as cruel and unusual as denying someone access to Starbuck's and/or Ben and Jerry's.
