Breaking someone's fingers one at a time can't kill you nor can having your toe nails pulled off one at a time. I guess those actions aren't torture either?
I think you might be confused on what torture actual is. There doesn't have to be a risk of death for actions to be torture.
Waterboarding has been internationally recognized as torture for quite some time now, including international documents the US has agreed with and signed.
