No torture scene will ever outdo the two from Day 2. The opening scene with the oriental guy strapped to a table getting shocked with acid spilling all over his feet gave me friggin' nightmares. Then the power grinder to the shoulder and the guy packing it with a clotting agent later on in the day... I almost stopped watching the show after that.
Day 2 also featured the defense secretary getting the cardiac paddles planted on his face time and again with his feet in cold water and Jack being cut on by the psycho until his heart stopped. Day 2 was just sick, man.
Poor Heller's son wearing his headphones didn't really measure up. Neither did what's her hotness getting the stun gun to the neck.

It would have been a nice touch if it had been Palmer's own USSS torturer (who lightly grilled the aforementioned SecDef in season 2) who'd turned up to do Jack in, but I guess Steven Culp is quite busy these days. I've seen the goon that did turn up in something else, can't remember where. . .

I was able to figure out most of the codenames he gives everyone... which were funny... but really, wouldn't it be easier to just use the character's names?

I guess it makes it more fun for him to write. Not for anyone else to actually read, of course, but when did anyone who writes a column on the net (usually sublimating a failed journalistic or literary career) care about that?

Yeah it took me a while to figure out the codenames for the characters on the site... but they were very funny once I got used to the naming scheme... She-Ho anyone? Besides, I thought that only regular folks wrote the recaps on TWP...
