re: #348 Mosh

I know it’s a second hand account but my friend trained to be a Navy SEAL and when he signed up there was no fine print saying “Oh by the way, we are going to waterboard you”. He told me that his instructor just sprung it on them one day during training.

He told me it was unpleasant but he would not consider it torture.

And yet, it has to be done, because hardcore radical terrorists who will not budge under normal interrogation procedures crack when you waterboard them.

/Is it just me, or is there some kind of cognitive disconnect going on here?
