I don't like this kind of test -- it would be too easy for Hannity (or whoever) to just say "nope, not torture" and walk away.
Solution -- if he says it's not torture, do it again -- a day later. This gives him 23 hours to think about it ...
As to whether or not it's "really" torture, I thought Scylla (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=448717) had settled it once and for all.
