No-one ever said that they don't and I'm sure they would not have signed any international agreements prohibiting the use of torture. Anyway, there is big difference between a terror group and a super power state that is supposed to hold moral high ground.

Maybe we need a way to delineate?

Delineate? No, its simple - just openly state a policy of "we are free to use torture" (why lie about it?) but as I said, don't expect no-one else to use torture against American personnel. Obviously, it goes both ways......
It's a good idea to just come clean but I mean just from the fact that American armed forces compose a larger part of fighting forces in foreign countries than any other countries armed forces, I suppose its obvious that the USA would have much more to lose from doing that individually than anyone else.
