Parsing torture
Torture, no matter what it is called, is "torture." I can not believe how people are parsing out water boarding--saying it is not torture.
Plus, if some one thinks they are drowning/dying and know that if they say anything--including whatever their interrogators want to hear--how much truth do you think those statements hold?
Remember, even sleep deprived suspects in police cases cop to the crime, even if they had not committed it, in order to end their ordeal.
Torture, by any name, is wrong.
