I think she is arguing the combination stripping him and refrigerating him to coerce a statement became torture when it caused him to be hospitalized.

I would think refrigerating someone to coerce a statement is torture before that happens.

But as to the 20th hijacker, if they caught him quickly so that he knew about any further attacks that day I can see possible justification for torture.
