"I will cut your son's throat" -- torture?

Carol Rosenberg has this riveting New York Times story on the torture hearing currently underway at Guantánamo Bay military commission. Who were the lawyers back at the CIA who opined that it wasn't torture if the threat was conditional? Seriously: who were they? Is there a memo in the file?

    Experience leads me to believe there was no memo in the file. The advice was likely given orally and never documented.
