I disagree. We waterboard our Seals during their training.

“Mohammed told interrogators it was in the Philippines that he first considered using planes as missiles to strike the United States. He took the idea to Osama bin Laden, who “at first demurred but changed his mind in late 1999,” according to the summary.

Mohammed described plans to strike targets in Saudi Arabia, East Asia and the United States after the Sept. 11 attacks, including using a network of Pakistanis “to target gas stations, railroad tracks, and the Brooklyn bridge in New York.” Cross-referencing material from different detainees, and leveraging information from one to extract more detail from another, the CIA and FBI went on to round up operatives both in the United States and abroad.”

More importantly, based on what KSM had done, and the intelligence we gathered, I really don’t care if someone considers waterboarding to be “torture”. If you kill thousands of innocents, you kind of exhaust my reservoir of moral outrage concerning what happens to you.
