Are we noticing the irony of using the term "uncontroversial" to answer controversy?

  Sure, "comparatively less emotionally loaded way of distinguishing from other interrogation techniques that also does not carry the weight of appearing to be conclusory on a matter of law on which the Committee was very clearly not intending to state a conclusion" would probably be better than "uncontroversial".

    But the point is that people disagree that the emotionally-loaded word should not be used. That's the whole controversy.
